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:
