(Of course it doesn't end here. The list is very similar for AMD. Also Nvidia, except for a certain individual who owns ~3.8%)
The huge operation known to the public as "Qualcomm buys Intel" would actually boil down to "accountants at mutual funds update some records", more or less.
Nvidia is too engrossed in selling AI products now than to acquire Intel. And to be fair, ARM chips have come a long way and at this point a strong contender to x86 chips. Given they are already licensed to make ARM chips, no reason to go after Intel. Between ARM and Intel, I would think the former is much better investment since ARM chips are used in a log more electronic devices than Intel chips.I’m surprised Nvidia hasn’t approached Intel for a buyout. Maybe the ARM buyout being blocked by regulators is still fresh?

And Intel wanted to finally get rid of it permanently too, IIRC. So old-ass x86 isn't worth as muchWho cares about x86, AMD owns x86-64 (previously amd64).
By now, x86 is largely obsolete in terms of the instruction sets that are being used by a modern computer and what's left could most likely quite easily be emulated by a modern CPU if needed.
If this is anything to go by, x86 kind of died with Windows 8.

Seriously. As long as it's lose-lose for consumers, the authorities will give it their blessing. Never been a single one of these takeovers that isn't a clusterfcuk for the employees and consumers. Qualcomm would not be a company I would want buying Intel. They have shown themselves to be a corporate scumbag for far too long. They would rape the IP, keep some talent, and sack many tens of thousands within 12-18 months.I don't see how any regulator would allow this. Even in the US, let alone EU and China.

Apple is a founding member of ARM. Not sure what kind of deal they did from day one, but yes, apparently they have a good deal.That applies to the existing ARM instruction set. Sooner or later ARM will put ogether a new version, or rather a new extension for matrix math/security/whatever. I don't think Apple, Samsung, QC and others will just automatically get the license without paying again.
The ARM buyout never made sense, since they already had access to the architecture. Given how dirty Ngreedia is, looks like their plan was to keep ARM for themselves, hence why it was correctly blockedI’m surprised Nvidia hasn’t approached Intel for a buyout. Maybe the ARM buyout being blocked by regulators is still fresh?
Maybe or they might turn intel x86 licensing into something like what ARM does.Qualcomm would discontinue Intel, the same way Intel discontinued Alpha.
I’m pretty sure that both intel and amd have agreements signed in case something like this ever happened.Qualcomm probably killing the architecture in favor of ARM and creating a huge mountain of problems to AMD that has cross licensing with Intel to make AMD's life miserable

I understand that, all in the name of backwards compatibility, but how much of the old stuff is used on a modern computer?AMD's AMD64/Intel's EM64T (collectively x64) is a superset of x86, they have a symbiotic relationship. It's never been a pure 64-bit architecture like Itanium (IA-64). More recently, OS developers started to tier x64 by extension support:

That's why it never went anywhere, despite x86 OSes being all but dead for some time now. Linux i686 is still around, barely, but both macOS and Windows have already dropped it.
