TerryLaze Admin said: after the U.S. government had invested its own $8.9 billion into Intel. That's a very weird way of putting it since the gov extorted those shares for the money they had already promised to intel from the CHIPS act. hotaru251 said: tin foil hat possibility: now they have incentive for their product to work better w/ intel. So what's the difference?! They always had incentive for their product to work better with the CPU that is in like 90% of x86 PCs. Or at least was, and we didn't see any change in how well nvidia runs with AMD in the last few years where we saw more AMD cpus in PCs. Reply
ezst036 It would be quite interesting if Nvidia ended up buying out Intel in total. I'm sure we are a long way from that but still. That would be crazy if it happened. Reply

The FTC didn't allow nvidia to buy arm and had to allow even this transaction. There is no way the FTC would allow a full buy out. (to nvidia) Reply

Otherwise the FTC might just be setting everybody up for more failure and another bailout. Intel should not receive another bailout, if they can't get their act together then they need to sell themselves off to a capable entity. Time to die. (I don't really like Nvidia but they are capable.) Reply

(I don't really like Nvidia but they are capable.) Another?! Which one do you think was the first?! CHIPS wasn't a bail out, not for intel at least, it was to incentivize companies to keep or create more work in the USA, so you could call it a bail out for the gov. but then they turned around and stole shares for that money, a hostile takeover is not a bail out.

Bigshrimp More circular investments. Seems like no real new money is being generated, just spending on each other's companies. Basically taking money from one company, giving it to another, then that company gives it to another company, and the circle continues. Reply
