This problem is not specific to Intel. Many chips are not using the smallest node sizes and old fabs get a second life producing those chips instead of CPUs. That could soon be the future for Intel fabs.

That's where a fab goes to die. It needs to be fully capitalized at that point or else you don't have the money for R&D on leading edge. Intel going this direction is the direction of GloFo and no longer even attempting leading edge node production in the US anymore.
