    Importantly from what I’ve read outside sources such as Ian Cutress are also pretty positive about the node, so it’s not just this press release in a vacuum. I guess we will find out soon enough how it turns out.

    I think regardless of how shitty Intel as a company is/was and the general issues with the USA right now, as a consumer we should hope for it to turn out well. Leading edge manufacturing is one of the hardest industries to enter and there are only 3 companies left in the race. Competition is vital for a healthy market, so any loss there will ultimately hurt consumers more than some of the other issues.
