TSMC will reportedly start production of Atom system-on-chip products in Q4 2009 at the earliest.

Intel's move is widely seen as an attempt to reduce manufacturing costs during a time of economic crisis, and other chipmakers who use TSMC's facilities, such as ARM, don't seem to be overly concerned about the Intel-TSCM partnership.
