I appreciate that it says how Intel is just trying to narrow the gap with TSM. 18A is supposed to be comparable to N3P and Intel will have nothing to respond to N2 planned for 2025. Betting on INTC now is a pretty risky choice in my opinion, that's why I prefer to stick to the current cutting edge, which is hardly something everyone will run away from just because someone else builds fabs and recruits a team of marketers. The idea that competitors in the form of AMD or NVIDIA will manufacture at INTC is hard to believe, in the same way Apple will find it hard to think about handing over their know how to someone who makes their own chips.
So what I've been watching the last couple of years, TSMC despite being the leader is still growing revenues and profits nicely because they have a lot of pricing power due to their manufacturing technology. Intel adopted EUV pretty late, probably will have much worse yields than TSM and probably Samsung, i.e. smaller margins (+large CAPEX). Shareholders are looking at a paltry dividend that just won't get to the original values and capital appreciation is also very uncertain.

I avoid China. I'd love to buy $BABA, for example, but despite the fact that I think it's a good company (it was better before the sanctions and oversight by the government there) it's the government that's putting me off.
