iirc didn't gov say intel has to own foundry 51% to get any of its funding?
So could they even GET bought?

Intel can't spin off the foundries and get the gov't funding. If the whole company was bought out, one would assume the company that bought Intel would then be eligible for the funding.

I hear absolutely I want to buy. I want to drive down that price and you are right it makes perfect sense that we buy intel’s. CEOs of multibillion corporations don’t ask if something is ok to do, they figure out how it can be done, and then do it.

Intel seems to have forgotten how to make new chip designs. The B580 is so poorly designed it takes more power and is 30% slower and is just as big and expensive to make as the 4070 (costs $297 to make) so Intel has to heavily subsidize the $250 intro price for a limited time only ...

Error Lake and Lunacy lake are likewise, worse than preceding designs in price/performance..
