- Can IBM rescue Intel? IBM already licenses its transistor designs to GlobalFoundries and Samsung, so Intel is joining a team of TSMC competitors to pool research and share the huge cost of developing ever-smaller transistors.. Intel could leap directly from 7nm in 2022 to IBM’s 2nm in 2024. By working together, the two American companies can put Intel back onto an equal footing with TSMC.
