This appears to be manufactured by TSMC (or Samsung). The press release says it will use a 5nm process, which is not on Intel's roadmap.

"The Intel Gaudi 3 accelerator, architected for efficient large-scale AI compute, is manufactured on a 5 nanometer (nm) process"

Habana was an acquisition and their use of TSMC predates the acquisition.
Yeah, but if Intel can't even get internal customers to adopt their foundry services it seems to bode poorly for the future of the company.
The design and decision to make it Fab with TSMC was way ahead of Intel's Foundry services offering. ( And it is not like Intel had the extra capacity planned at the time for Intel's GPU )
Process matters. Intel was ahead for a long time, and has been behind for a long time. Perhaps they will be ahead again, but maybe not. I’d rather see them competitive.
