Makes no sense.
Three months ago Intel stock dropped 30% overnight… so if Apple are even thinking about it then now is a good time.
This is about as likely as them buying NXP (who bought Freescale, which used to be Motorola PowerPC)
I could see them buying ARM/ deepening the relationship with ARM. But Intel?
I doubt they enjoy having their balls in TSMC’s vice.
Intel is the only option remotely available to leverage against them.
- Starting from zero will cost bajillions and take decades to get competitive
- Samsung’s probably not divisible in a way that makes their fabs buyable
- They can’t buy into any of the 7nm/5nm level players in the PRC and fund their modernization due to sanctions
- Does anyone else have sub-10nm at anything buy lab scales?
Watch them buy AMD.
Fuck please no
Don’t really need them.
