On one hand “noooo!” But on the other this would be great for ARM and RISC-v if Intel tanks.
Screw ARM honestly, they don't need any help. RISC-V though as the only open source of any significance, absolutely!
What about POWER9? You can buy a complete workstation right now, with an open source CPU, Board, BIOS. It'll cost you an arm, a leg, and probably some more internal organs, but it is currently more functional than RISC-V.

c'mon RISC-V! Framework is developing a board for their laptop right now.

Hooray for Risc-v, anyway.
I think I joke too often about ruling benevolently over the world's robots someday after everyone lays off their Cybersecurity staff.
But if we continue this trend, this community may have the only clean secure laptops after everyone else sells out and fills their shit with backdoors.
Maybe we can rule together as a benevolent collective...

He’s going to rename the i series to something ridiculous like i69, i420, i1337, and iX isn’t he?
The new Incel X series
This is the only reputable outlet that had anything to say about it.
They reference SemiAccurate as the source, which I have not heard of before, but seems to have a solid track record with accurate reporting.
GET. FUCKED. MUSK.
I have to say, having an all-AMD setup makes me feel slightly okay today, even though AMD is just another shit company. At least it's not in the running to be owned by that fucking tool.

I appreciate him doing this after intel lost their magic, otherwise, it would have been much harder emotionally.
They lost it in CPUs, but I think they're actually nailing it in GPUs though (for once(at least for the budget/entry level))
They have what, 2 models? And in the GPU market, they aren't even a pimple on the fly on the ass of nVidia or AMD

Holy fuck no thank you
Who wants to get in bed with Elon so he drives the brand into the ground? How much has Fidelity written down their investment in Twitter, 80%?
Everyone is focusing on Musk but uh, Global Foundries wants to be involved in buying Intel?
The same Global Foundries that's utterly incapable of progressing their tech stack?
The one AMD created when they got rid of their foundries and was happy to do so?
That amuses the shit out of me.
AMD wasn't quite "happy" to sell their fabs, it was necessitated because they were facing bankruptcy. People forget but the prevailing opinion was that AMD was going to bankrupt within a few years.
Their pre-Su CEO, Rory Read, often gets shit online for being there during a bad period, but he made some difficult and necessary decisions that saved AMD. Part of that was the GF selloff.
I highly doubt Global Foundries is even in the position to buy Intel, they'd most likely want to give them a cash infusion in exchange for tech or for selling fabs (which intel would probably accept, since their fabs are currently under-utilised... in other words they have too much capacity, and yet are still building more because Chips Act says they have to). That would be good for GF.
I was about to get extremely upset, and then I remembered I haven't used intel since 2012.
This is still extremely bad for the industry, regardless of whether you personally use it.

I have a 13700K that's growing increasingly unstable due to their fuckup on voltage control. Never again. My next rebuild will be AMD.

Does that include Wi-Fi or cellular modems or any of the other shit they make, or just x86 CPUs?
Yep, he'll do it, the Trump administration will rubber stamp it. He'll probably just keep doing such. Who knows what will happen when someone has all the money on the planet.
...I guess that person's lineage just rules supreme however they like?

Mixed feelings about this as someone with a relatively (per my portfolio) huge investment in Intel. It would result, eventually, in the end of Intel. But so many dumb people with so much money keep throwing money at his crap companies so it might work out in the short term to get out with a profit.

Lmfao oh man because AMD wasn't encroaching enough on intels market share, make your brand even more political than it already is. Hitching their trailer to a beneficiary of apartheid is notoriously on brand for them though, so there's that.
You don't need to buy an entire company to control or profit from it... He's really that dumb isn't he. He could do the whole Black Rock thing and control every company in the world, instead he has this idea of just owning everything.
I'm starting to suspect the price speculation of things he owns is by his own hand, nothing to do with the market whatsoever.

Let's hope it's just another wccftech article pulled out of author's anus...
As if Intel doesn't have enough problems. That dipshit buying them would probably destroy them.

Are there people left who will lend him money after seeing what happened to twitter?
