>There won’t be a startup to fill Intel’s place.
That’s Intel management’s FUD building a moat against such startups with the government’s help.
Several billions of dollars is not a scary level of funding these days for such startups to happen. Plus CHIPS pile of hundreds of billions. Plus Nvidia, Google, Amazon, Apple and others can always form a consortium to build a foundry. A lot of options, yet all of them are being killed by the Intel management skillfully working the bronze ear. That is how a tech race is lost - by letting government instead of the market to pick winner.
