Qualcomm has apparently approached Intel with a takeover proposal, which could result in a company that can make x86 and Arm gaming CPUs. [WSJ as news source]

I highly doubt this'll happen

Reminds me of the endless "AMD getting bought out???" posts back when their stock price was $2.30 a share lol.
Intel has absolutely massive amounts of IP and physical assets. They'd more likely spin off their fabs before being bought out.

I thought AMD spinning off their fabs was the beginning of the end. Clearly I was wrong.

Arm gaming sounds like a wild thing rn ngl

Oh yes I'd love for arm to become more common. Since arm is somewhat more open compared to x86, we could see some fierce competition between the different chip manufacturers.

This would be huge geopolitically
