It should be noted that in the second half of 2022 TSMC plans to offer both N4 (which is IP-compatible with N5) and N3 process technologies with the latter being primarily aimed at TSMC's alpha customer, Apple. It does make sense for Intel to outsource some of its entry-level and, perhaps, mid-range processors to a third party to free up its own manufacturing capacity for higher-end CPUs. In particular, it will be especially beneficial for Intel to produce more advanced Xeon Scalable 'Ice Lake', Core i5/i7 'Tiger Lake-H', and Core i5/i7 'Alder Lake' processors using its 10 nm process technologies at its own fabs while outsourcing production of cheaper products to others.
