        They’d just go with TSMC. No one takes an unnecessary risk like that on a first gen product.

          I don’t think it’s mutually exclusive. I would be surprised if any of these 3 customers are using 18A exclusively.

            Probably not (unless Intel is counting itself, lol) but for a theoretical first-gen entry into a highly competitive and time-sensitive market, I can’t see any sane company taking on a bunch more risk by using IFS vs TSMC. Hell, Intel itself seems to be using TSMC for all graphics/accelerators at least through 2025.
