Would you want to risk the entire business to make CPUs that wouldnt even take up 5% of your production?

TSMC is crap when we talk about performance. Not discount production with lower quality and less lifetime. Dead/semidead GPUs, NICs etc that most if not all know about on a closer relation.
Offc they will lose the cel density if they would optimize for performance, no doubt about that. But if they would optimize a line especially dedicated for performance they would get great results i think
