Intel has a massive fab capacity problem right now, in that their fabs aren't being utilized. Doing manufacturing of a high-volume product is exactly what they need, and if that high volume product is their own - all the better.

Intel has a massive fab capacity problem because their fabs are too retarded[1] now even for themselves[2], let alone others in the market.
