Nice to see the US government and their partially owned chip manufacturer Intel investing in India and Indian jobs for Indian workers. I'm sure their voters will love it.
Intel to explore making chips with mega-corp Tata in India’s first fab
Intel will explore manufacturing some chips in India’s first fab after forming an alliance with Indian mega-corp Tata. The two companies announced the alliance yesterday.

Thank you for this article. Thank you for telling it like it is. Intel does not need mature nodes 28,20,18,14 . Any collaboration between two is years away. Another MOU for intel. More paperwork. How is the electricity in India? Is it stable? I have a question for you. Where did all the advanced chip designers come from? it seems like everyone is designing their own advanced chips today. Poor Intel cannot seem to do anything accept a power point demonstration, an advanced research paper that's either impossible to build or too expensive to build. Are all these companies using the same basic ARM chip and modifying it? Don't get me wrong 10 to 20 years from now this might payoff. I hope so.

Depends on what you mean by "Pay off".
We have been here before: Back in 1980 Intel were just one of several microprocessor manufacturers, then the market consolidated around a couple of designs. Likewise with operating systems. I expect in a few years the companies doing their own advanced chip designs will discover just how costly it is and decide to refocus on their core capabilities and return to buying in and standardisation...
