There is no RIP Intel.
I heard that so many times over the last 20 years and Intel is still alive and as strong as ever today.
And no one got fired for buying IBM. Intel had better find a lot of good ideas for IOT uses of their lighter CPUs (Celerons, this one is holding up fine right now, uh, mostly) and get it out there just to maintain their production levels. **** changes.
The problem with NVDA and AMD is that they don’t make their own chips. Even APPL. They farm it out to TSMC and Samsung. If there is a supply disruption they will be stuck. Intel makes its own chips but it’s having difficulty matching the manufacturing prowess of TSMC and Samsung. That has got to change though. We can’t let China control our tech industry. If China invades Taiwan, that will leave only Samsung.
