I am waiting for the headline "AMD to buy Intel!"

And Nvidia buys ARM, which is then bought by AMD-Intel, which then merges with Samsung.

And then The Semiconductor Manufacturing Company takes shape.

and then Apple buys Samsung

and then Amazon buys Apple.

and then Aliexpress buys Amazon.

And Softbank already owns Aliexpress. And then CCP intervenes!

And then the CCP breaks it up into the original pieces.

The things I've seen, I would be less than surprised this preposterous plot plays out.

Given Intel wants to sell fab space it wouldn’t shock me if AMD keeps buying fab space at a soon to be Intel plant to make chipsets and other items that don’t need to be on the bleeding edge or constitute sharing much IP.

That would be a terrible outcome competition-wise :(
