The money was to build fabs, which they are still doing - which is costing them most of their money they struggle to afford because their current chips are awful.
Their fabs may be shit too. Hopefully the new ones are better
I mean how bad can the fabs be - they'll be running ASML EUV machines right?
I'm not sure the tool is the the issue here?
A master carpenter with entry level tools will still do a much better job than a klutz with professional grade tools.
Yes, a pro just needs some sand and a lighter and a needle
They went through a phase where they were getting awful yields. No idea why they had those problems and others didn't.
