You might can use their equipment for manufacturing legacy products.
The problem is: They don't actually produce anything. They are fabless.
No, baby. You're fabulous.
Wait, then what DO they do?
They design the chips and the software needed to work with it. They write the code in a HDL (Hardware Definition Language) and test them in simulation runs, and when everything works, they synthesize the chips' masks from it.
Oh, ok. So like an architect makes the blueprint and then sends it off to the engineers to build.
Exactly.
