Google's POWER8 server motherboard
The parent poster is referring to IBM leaving the cpu fab business, so of course a Google produced CPU (most likely farmed out to a fab) is better than a ghost cpu produced by a shut down factory by non-existent fab technicians/engineers.

Realistically, you don't shut down a multi-billion-dollar state-of-the-art fab. It may be sold to another company but it will continue to operate.

AMD has also been fabless for a while. Somehow the chips keep showing up...

Is it confirmed IBM will stop chip fab?
