Broadcom is reportedly considering an acquisition of Intel’s chip-design and marketing business, and would want a partner for the company’s manufacturing business, while TSMC is reportedly looking at controlling some or all of Intel’s chip plants, potentially as part of an investor consortium.

Intel started to separate the foundry from their business and this is probably why.  I'll be watching their stocks!

My question is if they sell the foundry and it doesn't keep producing, will Intel be on the hook for the money and tax breaks they got to increase their production in the USA?

If I were them I wouldn't sell the foundry, I'd lease it out and do chips for other companies.
