This seems too negative. Intel is building 18A ("2 nm") fabs that should be tied for the best in the world.

Isn’t it technically Intel buying from ASMR, Intel being more or less the hangar around those crowns of technology?

ASML* is the only company in the world who makes these machines. TSMC buys them from ASML and i still wonder why intel can't manage the same node, it's a thing i never understood.

Anyway, no one is even close to doing what ASML is doing.

Edit: From a rapid Google search seems line under 90nm there is only ASML. Canon and Nikon compete on older nodes.

No, you cant just get machine from ASML and youre leader

Semiconductors Engineering is modern equivalent of Rocket Science
