New rumour alleges Samsung and Apple are looking to acquire Intel

[Redaktion]

Moore's Law is Dead has heard from sources that Samsung and Apple are looking to acquire Intel. Both companies are allegedly after Intel's foundry business, which would give them unfiltered access to cutting-edge nodes from TSMC.

People are waiting for the AMD ZEN 5 9000x3D, let's hope TSMC has enough stock because they will be difficult to buy due to their 7 years of updates. In 2032 you will be able to buy the latest and install it without paying anything, with Intel it is impossible. ArrowLake is dead in addition to its low performance and high consumption.

A comical at best rumor considering that:

- Intel claims its 'foundry business' LOST Billions last year alone
- Their factories are tuned for out dated Intel products
- Even Intel resorts to TSMC for 'bleeding edge' fab processes

Intel DOES have a handful of 'bleeding edge' factories being BUILT.
(IE: years away from being proven, productive or PROFITABLE!!)

The $64 question that remains: does Intel have ANYTHING worth purchasing?

Seriously, yeah. I wish there was block/ignore option to block all their names which they use to spam the same crap around.

All those articles about someone buying Intel are ridiculous. Clickbate? What can Apple/Samsung/Qualcom do with Intel fabs that Intel can't itself? Or maybe they want to buy only Intel project group that is giving some profit, so Intel will be left with only loosing factories?
Intel has $30B in cash. Intel 4 Meteor Lake is not so much worse than genius TSMC 3 Lunar Lake. Now we know even 14th gen Core Intel cpu on "10nm" are not so far away from TSMC "brilliant" 3nm.
Does everyone needs TSMC 3? Amd and NVidia still are using TSMC 4.
If yields for Intel 18A will be satisfactory then I don't see reasons for any change even if it will still be slightly behind TSMC 3.
