Intel is not TSMC's nor Globalfoundries' competitor. They are not a foundry business. Also both companies are already establishing 20nm. It is also significantly more difficult to design a fab around hundreds of customer designs and production, rather than the IDM model which shows less versatility in it's processes. I'm not entirely sure what the article is trying to accomplish by skewing facts.
