Not sure if a thread has already been started, but this would suggest (if true) that Intel have conceeded in their quest to drive AMD out of the market and are taking new steps to make leaps in the market.
Given their history, I'd like Samsung to refuse assistance, but they're probably getting well paid for it.

Intel has allegedly found a solution, or at least part of one, for its long-running supply issues with CPUs – which the firm admitted would be ongoing in a recent statement – and that solution is to enlist Samsung to help make more chips.
This is according to Pulse News Korea (as highlighted by Tech Powerup), and as ever with rumors, we need to tread with caution – although in the aforementioned statement, Intel did specifically state that “we are increasing our use of foundries … to produce more Intel CPU products” (as well as Intel expanding its own manufacturing capacity).
