I do want them to stay alive and sort themselves out though. Otherwise in a few years it will be AMD who will start outputting overpriced crap and this time there will be no alternative on the market.

They're already not interested in seriously putting competitive pressure on NVidia's historically high GPU prices.

I'm personally hoping more 3rd parties start making affordable RISC V. But yeah I agree, having Intel stick aroundbwould be good for people as you said.

Not only that, but (as an American) I do want the US to have some fab capability. A strong Intel is in our national security interest.

Yeah, if Taiwan is ever invaded, having US-based fabs will be crucial for world supply. Absolutely want to see Intel survive and TSMC continue to build factories here.

Nothing would say 'get fucked' like Intel going belly up and Taiwan exploding. The supply of any new computer parts would be a dumpster fire for years.
