But TSMC isn't a design house. Intel has both fab and design. TSMC's management could only help out on the fab side.

> Intel has both fab and design.

The fab part is not a good deal since Intel struggles a lot with it and they are not even on par with what TSMC was producing a few years back using older processes.

I would guess in this deal, TSMC would produce the chips and fire all the Intel foundry people.

TSMC was founded on the principle of never doing design. The promise to never steal customers from their clients.
