“It [Intel’s foundry division] was shuttered after just several years.”
Just several years. There are a lot of sentences like this in the book. It’s got a strange aversion to specifics, like there was an editorial decision to steer clear of facts that could be disputed, or things that would confuse readers (where the reader is really underestimated, in my opinion).

This book calls time-division multiplexing “time division multi-access”, for no apparent reason other than the author and their editors don’t think their readers know anything about the subject of the book.
That’s just one example It’s been a while since I read something that had such low expectations of its audience.

It’s conspicuous how he doesn’t name who was apparently the sole initial investor in Fairchild.
