Intel—the long-standing ruler and king that defined the PC platform for ages.

A company that designed and manufactured everything from CPUs to chipsets.

Everything else, like GPUs or memory, were just subordinate parts dependent on their platform.

But now? TSMC, which used to be a mere manufacturing subcontractor, has a market cap 10 times theirs.

The GPU, once just a sidekick component, has become the star of the show, overtaking the CPU to become the ruler of the platform.

Even memory, which they used to look down on, has reached a point where it's more expensive than the CPU.

They probably can't even believe the current situation even as they see it.

Who could have ever predicted this?
