Broadcom, TSMC Weigh Possible Intel Deals That Would Split Storied Chip Maker

No wonder why Pat had to leave. He was willing to fight.

On the assumption that TSMC is even willing to buy Intel's Foundry. I would have wished AMD or even Nvidia to buy the x86 part. Even Qualcomm would have been a better option. Broadcom is simply not a consumer company and unlikely know how to carry on the Intel x86 Legacy forward.

I guess this is basically the board has decided to give up. The fight is too hard. HyperScaler continues to move towards ARM. They should considered themselves lucky Ampere didn't execute well in that space but ARM will likely be doing it themselves. ARM on Windows is finally happening. There is nothing on the roadmap for Intel that doesn't look grim. ( And arguably the same for AMD as well )
