Earlier quoted context omitted.
Fin-Fet was intel, and that was just 12 years ago. Sure they dropped the ball after that but it was a rather quick fall from grace.
But it wasn't though...[1] Intel didn't invent/discover FinFET, nor were they the first to commercialize it. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fin_field-effect_transistor
>> Commercially produced chips at 22 nm and below have generally utilised FinFET gate designs (but planar processes do exist down to 18 nm, with 12 nm in development). Intel's tri-gate variant were announced at 22 nm in 2011 for its Ivy Bridge microarchitecture.[30] These devices shipped from 2012 onwards. From 2014 onwards, at 14 nm (or 16 nm) major foundries (TSMC, Samsung, GlobalFoundries) utilised FinFET designs.
