RCA is nonexistent and just branding on contract manufactured goods. AT&T was enormous when Bell Labs was relevant. Now they are little more than a utility service. You are certainly not going to see something relevant like C or Unix coming from them now. Motorola is a joke of a shell of its former 68k self, and in no position of relevant innovation or competition. Intel could not get anything right. They have no competitive products to speak of, they gutted most of the open source stuff that matters and they will never recover to real relevance again. Time will tell. Computing is changing because we are at the final nodes. This is the most critical moment to be on top because the scaling laws are over. Missing the game now is a flop that will reverberate for a century. People do not understand the enormity of what it means to be at the final nodes of silicon. You will see it as the end of an epic within the coming decade. The world of the 1940s-1960s is returning because silicon is the only civilian industry in all of human history that has grown faster than the largest military budget in the world can afford to fund. There has never been another product that is so expensive to build tooling to then create something that is so cheap to produce. It blocks out anyone that wants to invest to compete. This is why it is so critical to fund and build a competitive final set of nodes. There is nothing left to strive for or undercut. There is no ability to fund the node and scale it to compete. There is no room to catch up. The race is over. To fail now, is catastrophic. The final node is less than 10 years away already. But the thing people do not realize is that the hardware cycle is actually 10 years long from initial idea to first products to market. This means the actual engineers on the bleeding edge are already past the end with nowhere to go. There is no more R&D to do for the last +1 node.

So that is why I say Intel. I won't buy their stuff now.

The world where RCA practically doesn't exist, Motorola is a shell of its former self owned by the Chinese, and Intel is literally in the process of going bankrupt and is so weak that it is being currently bailed out by taxpayer money

Intel kinda did for a while there, though they're recovering. (Completely lost corporate direction led to the share price halving)
