Later this year TSMC will be producing Intel CPUs on 5nm. Clearly contradicts your assertion.

That's the rumor, but it's still unsubstantiated.

True, not confirmed by Intel, but backed by fairly substantial sources: http://www.trendforce.com/presscenter/news/20210113-10651.ht...

And: Intel CEO Bob Swan said the company had identified a "defect mode" in its 7nm process that caused yield degradation issues. As a result, Intel has invested in "contingency plans," which Swan later defined as including using third-party foundries.
