I don't get it. Isn't it like forcing the foreign competitor into buying your only chicken that produces golden eggs. I really don't understand the logic behind this.


Well, to be fair, Intel stopped laying golden eggs years ago.


Just spitballing - maybe if TSMC had a 49% stake in Intel they'd be incentivised to transfer their chip-making technologies and techniques to Intel, to maximise the value of their (forced) investment?


Good point. They'd get whatever profit they make from the sale of tech to Intel, plus half of whatever benefit Intel receives.
