Four former Intel directors oppose TSMC's stake in Intel's wafer manufacturing business

Four former Intel directors opposed the introduction of TSMC to take a stake in or control Intel's wafer foundry and suggested that Intel's manufacturing business be split into an independent company owned by American investors. They believe that concentrating cutting-edge semiconductor production under a foreign entity in the United States could create a near-monopoly, thereby weakening the power of American technology companies. Intel's former CEO opposed the company's splitting of the business into two parts, especially at a time when Intel's 18A technology has made a breakthrough and is about to catch up with TSMC's N2 process.
