• Positive Sentiment: Foundry progress: reports of improved yields on Intel’s 18A process (yields >60% cited) have fueled speculation Intel can scale contract manufacturing, becoming a credible alternative to TSMC and unlocking a higher-margin revenue stream. “The Number Two Chip Foundry,” Intel Stock Blasts Up on New Appraisal
