The actual chips are farmed out to TSMC, I don't believe they've made any in house so I'm guessing maybe they've decided that they're going to do that sometimes now? But then, even some of their CPUs are made by TSMC so I could be on a very wrong path.
TSMC is how they stay competitive; that’s what everyone else uses
Intel is still catching up with 18A

You design semiconductors for a living? Or just read articles?
They want to make Celestial on 18A, no?
