Apple doesnt make chips, it designs chips. Currently TSMC is making chips for Apple. Apple will still design their chips they will only shift manufacturing from TSMC to Intel. They are not buying Intel x86 chips. Apple is only using Intel foundries so that Intel manufacture chips that Apple designs.
Trump bought 10% of Intel for US govt. He wants companies to build chips in US. He is also threatening to tariff if chips are not manufactured in US and TSMC is refusing to shift manufacturing of their best chip and R&D to US so Intel might be the only choice if tariffs are imposed.
Iām no expert but Iād expect the opposite Because the govt isnāt very liquid and canāt move shares quickly. So you just have locked up like 6% of intel that doesnāt move now id expect the shares that do move to have an outside effect. But Iām pro regard so who knows. I do know my 20 contracts went from .12 to .20 so was good enough when it looked like fear peaked
the stocks are down on a narrative, not because they're broke and the deals aren't real.
ffs, the amd deal is so horrible for amd/amazing for oai that oai will absolutely capitalize on it as much as they can. it's ~free GPUs at the expense of amd's diluting stock.
and that's omitting all the softbank $, numerous banks that are in on this, and the support of the us govt, ala stargate (and maybe genesis, if it's ever actually explained).
How much longer til the pitchforks & torches time š-pit everybody against eachotherā -pit everybody against the govt. & big institutionsā -Let the govt do whatever it wants without consequencesā -pit all the countries against eachotherā -price everybody out of everythingā
