This is good, but other than they are planning to build some factories there's not much info in this. Stock is up $5 was about the only hard fact in that article.

They're also going to allow others to use their x86 core design in things, ala ARMish

Oh so they competing with TSMC now instead of AMD

14nm is still plenty for most uses. Good for Intel to give its design and fab units more independence.
