I predict we will see a death of intel similar to the death of Chrysler in the next decade.
Too little too late has been done to save it. it ran rudderless for 30 years under the hand of marketers and grifters who used stock buybacks and deception to ensure it looked strong in the press. It pioneered things like gaming compiler results to achieve benchmark supremacy. it squandered its potential at the helm of a leadership that cared more about profit than innovation.
Perhaps it will sell to Texas Instruments or motorola but these arent the cherished powerhouses of industry our octogenarian congress reminisces they were. Motorola spends its days focused on niche telecom like apco p25 and IoT nannyware like the snitch puck https://infocondb.org/con/def-con/def-con-33/unmasking-the-s.... it develops very little of the SoC or chips it uses.
the government needs intel, but i suspect will in administrations to come grow increasingly weary and frustrated with its morass of managerial bloat, bureaucratic stagnation and inability to evolve the business model.

They have a ways to go.
Chrysler merged with Mercedes (Daimler). Then they were sold to Cereberus. Then filed for bankruptcy. Became 'new' Chrysler. Then bought by Fiat. Merge with Puegot.
I actually don’t know if it’s good or bad for Intel.
I could see an embargo or tariffs on TSMC chips… but is Intel better with competition or worse? Do other countries care as much as the US? They may buy TSMC anyways.
