Why? The cost of developing a new design just for ego's sake? Intel is powerful and it works, go with it. We don't have anything to prove by making another processor. So we buy it from open market, so what? It is cheaper to make those chips in Vietnam so be it, the same way it is cheaper to make cars in India for export to Vietnam. If we chase these glory projects, you won't finish any of your projects in time coz you're gonna have a hundred labs making a hundred things none of which will come on time. Instead a big project has a few core things you want to achieve, the rest you source.
