    So this is how the tech dark ages start. The last 40yrs are erased, and we end up back in 1979 where everyone is selling a tech stack and nothing is compatible.

    Rebuilding around something which isn’t C would be a bright side.

    Qualcomm buying Intel would be a top 3 worst case. Broadcom or Marvel would be the other two.

    Some funny scenarios: Nvidia buys Intel, IBM buys Intel, Apple buys Intel.

      They’re not buying the whole of Intel. It sounds like they want to buy one of their divisions, probably their PC division.
