author is based in Taiwan. his background is not in the semis industry but he does work in tech industry.
my take away: Intel's edge is an technical debt.
Intel's own tools/process used to give them an edge over everyone else during the early years in the semis industry. Overtime, tool suppliers have catch up with Intel and Intel is falling behind due to their own tools delay/insufficient.
Intel's own tools is losing out to commodity and standardized tools
