Lip-Bu Tan: Our Path Forward

why did Tan say:
intel needs to earn trust of foundry customers
and he previously said intel needs 2 or 3 key customers.
so intel foundry customers dont trust them? and they do not have 2 or 3 key customers? Seems like he would know?
how many external 18a foundry wafer starts will intel have in 2026? 5k per month?

My guess would be QCOM and MediaTek are in the mix since they will be speaking at the Intel Foundry event:

An RF mixed signal process is nothing to sneeze at, if it was actually Intel's own, and provided feature sizes comparable to recent pure digital nodes.

But we don't know, if it is actually Intel's own.
Intel has 22FFL For RF
 
Intel has been running chipsets exclusively on Samsung since 2021 (aka a decision made by BK back when Intel ran out of fab space for 14nm). I wouldn't be shocked if Intel was Samsung's largest client by far since QCOM bailed on them. Intel chipsets are probably like a 40K WSPM business.
I second this. This is not leading edge but it is volume business, and US-based.
