Foxconn used to make them, I'm not sure who makes them now. Yet those costs are passed to Intel no matter who their subcontractor might be. Again Mutual Agreements are based on if License fees are used or not. AMD and Intel and IBM have that arrangement. Once any of them start charging, the other will respond in kind. This has saved both AMD and Intel Millions in Court Costs.

A OWA pointed out, nothings stopping nVidia from paying for a license.
