      He’s a viciously dumb mobster, of course he’s going to twist their arm, like he personally owns place.

      I agree but also Intel’s been doing a bang-up job of offing themselves for a decade.

      I’m willing to give some credit to the GPU dev team. Everybody else though? No.

      Yep, Intel is basically dead, unless Trump forces out the competition and only allows Intel to be sold. Intel has been shit for awhile now anyways.

      Edit: And I highly advise everyone to NOT install any drivers downloaded from the Intel site. Only get drivers that have been vetted by a 3rd party. You can’t trust that Turnip lackeys haven’t added spyware.

      Kinda did beforehand anyway. Their fabs are old and there’s not much going on to build new ones or update, so.

      shakes AMD’s hand

      You won! 🎉

      Uh oh! Monopoly! I hope AMD isn’t swayed by political actors into injecting malware into their chips, again.

      I’m still gonna buy, an Intel GPU to encourage them to stay in the game and give Nvidia and AMD some competition.

      They are also simply the best hardware you can get for Plex/Jellyfin transcoding

      Arc GPUs are worth buying at the moment to avoid a duopoly of Nvidia and AMD. AV1 support at a reasonable price can be a big deal for media preservation. At least on the CPU side there’s competition from Apple, AMD, and other mobile processors that could theoretically enter the desktop market. Server CPUs are unfortunately looking bleak.

      At the moment, not many:

      The government bailing out a dying company is probably going to float the price, at least for awhile.

        The market is complete bullshit at this point, but buying 10% of a company is going to push the price up for a while. The math is so basic.

          Yup. It does make me wonder if Trump is maybe doing a favor for some investor buddy, raising the price so they can exit at a higher value.

            Intel is one of Israel’s largest private sector employers, about 10k people, which is a third as large a workforce as the largest employer, a bank. They cut 3000 employees there in the last several years as a result of their issues…

    Intel faces investor backlash for selling 10% stake to Trump’s billionaire buddies. FTFY.

    We all know how this is going to go. Sell all of our public assets to dickbags.

    Who is writing this article? The stock’s been up for the day, the week, and over the last month?

    On what planet do investors shy away from a giant federal bailout of shareholders?
