This is how badly Intel screwed itself over

18A isn't what it's been hyped up to be.

If ASML machines aren't putting out, won't TSMC run up against the same issues?

I think it's not just about the machines. It's more about passionate people wanting to do their best. I don't know what kind of culture Intel fabs have but I have read that at TSMC, almost everyone on the fab floor is a PhD with expertise in some area that helps TSMC be the best. Unlike Intel, they have never rested on their laurels. They take their commitment to their customers more seriously than death itself.
