Damn, first Intel missed out on Mobile, then it fumbled AI, and now it's being seriously challenged on its home turf. Pat has his work cut out for him.

His work now boils down to prepping Intel for an acquisition.

By whom though? I don't see how any company directly competing with Intel (or even orthogonal e.g. Nvidia and ARM) could be allowed to by Intel (they'd need approval in the US/EU and presumably a few other places) unless it's actually on the brink of bankruptcy?

IIRC Intel and AMD have a patent sharing agreement that dissolves if either is purchased.

This may be in the cards.

That's just a thing that needs to be renegotiated - highly doubt these two are getting into a patent war given the state of x86. Unless Intel gets acquired by a litigious company to go after AMD :shrug:

Gov would bail out intel or amd lol, this would negate American tech dominance and would try to prevent that
