"A horrible, demoralizing mistake." So said Joseph Bonetti, Principal Engineering Program Manager at Intel Corporation, on Linkedin earlier this week in response to rumours that TSMC might be in talks to take control of Intel's chip-manufacturing fabs.
Perhaps inevitably, Bonetti has since deleted his LinkedIn post though it is currently preserved for posterity on archive.today (via Tom's Hardware). While the post was up, Bonetti made an impassioned plea to Intel management and the Trump administration to pass up any capitulation to TSMC over chip manufacturing.
