TSMC are spending about that every year for the next 3 years on production improvements. Chip fabrication is so expensive to develop, I'm concern that $24bn is nowhere near enough to build a 5nm process.

Intel has 24bn available in cash. One could assume Intel also has $FOO x 24bn available in loaning power.

money can't buy node process. Intel struggle with 10nm for so long and 7nm is delayed while TSMC is now 5nm production ready and developing 3nm.
