Thread 106275521

Could they be saved or is it AMD from here on out?

Two options for Intel:
1. Keep fab: heavy investment in R&D subsidized by the government like pharmaceutical companies in order to compete with TSMC on the fab front because they are too far behind.
2. Sell fab: make chips at other companies and focus on design. Easier said than done because the fab is a white elephant to other companies capable of buying it.

In the short term, it is AMD.

Too big to fail. They're getting a bailout.

They don't really have a future without their own fabs. If they suck Trump's dick a little, they could get subsidized for the sake of national interests.

saved from what?

its rather convenient that one of the biggest reasons the US has interest in Taiwan is currently going belly up
all that’s left is nvidia

>currently going belly up
Elaborate

If China invades Taiwan, Intel goes to the moon.

They're going to get bailed out. Literally too big to fail.

It's more probable an US invasion of Taiwan than a PRC invasion...
