can they just die already?

>>106312263 (OP)
the us gov and softbank just invested into it
not going to happen

>softbank invested 10% of whats required to a build a new fab
yeah, thats sure to build investor confidence

Careful what you wish for. x86 and open platforms could die with it.

Sure thing, just be prepared to pay up your ass for your next CPU. Don't ever forget how competition works. I don't like Intel at all, but they are a check to a monopoly.

Their rapid decline really is suspicious. How much is there to just invest your treasure chest into refining existing chip tech? I buy into the theory that plants and subversives have been deliberately fed into their organization in order to weaken it while the Asian chipmakers rise.

Middle management eats it all. Intel is an infamously bloated organization, and they're really feeling it now.

>>106313426
nah its just that its hard to compete with the entirety of Taiwan backing 1 chip making company, or Samsung which owns south korea when you're limited to hiring some americans who dont want to work like asian bugmen

Lmao AMD already has raised their prices on the past two zen chips hand over due to their success. People like OP are actually retarded if they think a one vendor solution is ideal for anyone. Not to mention if Intel went under AMD would be a massive target to be broken up as NVIDIA, Apple, and Qualcomm would gladly push to break up its monopoly on x86_64

>softbank
lmao, they invest in any dying company to lose money

>>106313401
Plenty of other companies. CrApple, Qualkike, MediaDrek. Not everything needs to be x86 trash.

People like OP are just salty AMD was rightfully bullied for years as they released bulldozer slop chip after slop chip while Intel was literally coasting and making bank from quad cores for half a decade.

we just do what we've done with gaming consoles for decades. we emulate the ISA

Intel will never die. People are so delusional. Worst thing that would happen is they get acquired outright or allow someone to buy a large stake in them.

A frankenstein runs-everything-in-the-last-30-years OS is a bit harder to emulate well than consoles. There are a lots of programs, even paid, professional ones for macOS, that have been doing it for years, and they still fuck up on tons of software. (not just games)

no, they gotta lower ryzen prices on AM6, let them survive or our wallets will get raped in 2027

They'll live so long as they maintain their government ties.

Almost 10 years ago they did a major "restructuring" that fired a big chunk of their staff. This was right around the time Microsoft publicly stated the age of the desktop was over. People I talked to at the time assured me this was business as usual. Then the backdoor scandal hit, their CEO jumped ship right before. Later the manufacturing flaws started killing chips. And during this entire period AMD was miraculously not releasing pure shit. Intel has spent the last decade undoing all of their goodwill and pissing away their substantial market lead.

>>106313426
The problem has been and always will be the fact the company was led by short sighted business men for so long they're finally feeling the pain of not investing into the future. Gelsinger was a step in the right direction, then he got ousted. Intel consistently fails to invest into where the money is at. Foundry has an opportunity to thrive, but they're basically starting their product line from scratch since old processes weren't designed with foundry in mind. Going back and reengineering them is costly, they'd rather just make the newest shiniest toy and pray whale customers want in on it.

is that the old logo of TRUMP SEMICONDUCTOR?
