Goldman Sachs Securities pointed out that Intel has continued to face the problem of process upgrade delays since the 10nm process. Recently, it has decided to establish a "wafer-like foundry" model in the manufacturing department and internal product business units. As the mark et size becomes larger and larger, It is expected that Intel will expand the release of orders to TSMC in 2024 and 2025. In an environment where the outsourcing trend is on the rise, TSMC is the biggest winner.
Intel has actually been one of TSMC's customers for a long time, but it mainly entrusts some small projects to TSMC. The core CPU products are still produced by itself.
