As much as I enjoy seeing Intel falter for all of the anti-competitive practices it has employed in the past...

I think them moving to outsourced foundries would be a huge move in the wrong direction for fab consolidation.

I feel the same about Samsung's Exynos mobile SoCs. While they are definitely worse than Qualcomm's, if they went away Qualcomm would be the only chip maker for Android flagships (excluding Huawei, but without Google play services they don't really count).
MTK anyone?
We need to retain competition, otherwise AMD will be the new Intel and we will have gotten nowhere.
