TSMC processes are easier to use and there's a whole IP ecosystem around them that doesn't exist for Intel's in-house processes. I can easily imagine a research project preferring to use TSMC.

Many intel products that aren't strategically tied to their process nodes use TSMC for this reason. You can buy a lot of stuff off-the-shelf and integration is a lot quicker.
