#Apple is working to bring #Intel Foundry Service (IFS) online as a second supplier next to #TSMC. This is in a trial phase, making some limited products at the current 18A process, until #IFS delivers its next-gen 14A process.
TSMC is a great chipmaker, but a monopoly is not good for anyone. Apple is very incentivized to make IFS work as a competitive option. https://mastodon.social/@macrumors/115945301914889486
