The worry I have is that it’s being manufactured by TSMC - if they have capacity issues, then I’m not sure how adding another company’s orders will help

I wouldn't worry too much. If Intel start small that means small dies, meaning large numbers and higher success rates. Right now AMD and Nvidia are concentrating on the big ones, as that means more profit. IDK who gets higher on TSMC's list, but I bet Intel have handed out a few bonuses *cough*.
As said though, small dies large numbers. They are doing everything right so far....
It’s a shame Intel’s own silicon manufacturing isn’t up to scale - they must have a fair bit of capacity

It's not going to be £200 though (6500XT), it will start at £275 and really be priced after the hour sales to £350+. It's all got really silly regarding everything now.
April they are now saying electric and gas will be 57% increase too. The world has gone nuts and while all these things are happening companies are breaking records in earnings.. Something is way off now.. This government needs to go and some normality put back in place. It's become nothing but greed and scamming the general public. Inflation is one thing, but these record increases in prices are not matching inflation, inflation is not at 250-300% it's 3.5% and by April 6% they are saying.
I feel Intel will just take a seat at the making lots of money out of GPU's table next to AMD and Nvidia... I am quite cynical though.
Inflation is 5.1% and will be near 7% by feb.
That's mostly down to domestic energy bills, so doesn't have much bearing on GPU prices.

It won't help the other companies - it'll create further competition for the likes of Apple, AMD.
It's a very clever move by Intel - as this will increase the prices AMD and others need to pay to TSMC for wafers, and further improve their huge supply chain incentives for CPU's for all markets worldwide.

I don’t agree with this - I think that if Intel could manufacture their own GPUs, they would, because they’d get a much better ROI and have higher profit margins.
This would give them more flexibility to undercut competitors and, hence, sell more of them.
Now, they’re competing with other potential clients of TSMC for production, and have likely had to pay for this.
Its a possibility. For me the killer will be quantity. If we can see 10+ again on OCUK website for Intel and elsewhere then they will clean up but sadly I dont see it. If they have the numbers they can also quite easily undercut AMD and Nvidia for the equivalent performace card. For me its all about the numbers.
Quantity alone is meaningless really, there are '10+' numbers of RX 6600 cards on OcUK right now, for ~£430+
It only matters if they have quantity *and* price to undercut. They might of course, but this is Intel, how often have they priced deliberately as a 'budget' option?
