In the wake of Intel’s financial struggles, Broadcom is looking to potentially buy the company’s chip design business, while TSMC is considering acquiring all or some of Intel’s chip manufacturing business, according to multiple reports.
The cross licensing deal between AMD & Intel collapses if one gets bought out. Here is an old article that’s probably still accurate that describes it. (Has some great quotes that have not aged well…)
If that’s still true, a buyout might end up killing x86/x64 in favour of arm etc.
