Intel's moat, historically wide, eroded due to manufacturing stumbles. It is currently in a phase of 'rebuilding' through IDM 2.0. Durability hinges entirely on the successful and sustained execution of its process technology roadmap (18A and beyond) and establishing a competitive, profitable foundry business. If successful, cost advantages from scale and IP will strengthen its moat significantly.
