Serious question, why don't they have excess capacity? They aren't producing many CPUs...that people want.

Because their production capacity is much smaller than TSMC, it's declined over the past few years, and their newer nodes are having yield issues.

Hard to have excess capacity when your latest fabs aren't able to produce anything reliably.
They don't even have competitive capacity for all their CPU needs. They have negative spare capacity overall.
Intel doesn't currently have nodes competitive with TSMC or excess capacity in their better processes.
