$30 billion in revenue?! I don't think even Sony gets $30 billion revenue from hardware, let alone the chip manufacturer.
They might not cease to exist, but I think their days as one of the leaders in technology are numbered.
They just multiplied 150 mill PS1 sales by a chip cost estimate of $200 and stated that as the potential revenue. Nonsense, obviously.$30 billion in revenue?! I don't think even Sony gets $30 billion revenue from hardware, let alone the chip manufacturer.
Intel’s Falcon Shores future looks bleak as it concedes AI training to GPU rivals On Monday, Intel sent a letter to employees detailing its comeback plan after an abysmal second-quarter earnings report with critics calling for CEO Pat Gelsinger to resign.
The letter detailed the company’s plan to center its products around the x86 architecture. That could be bad news for GPU codenamed Falcon Shores, as Gelsinger previously said he will not compete with Nvidia and AMD in the AI training space.

Become a crucial part of the US and western chip supply strategy in case of war with China, and yes, you probably could.I've also made some poor business decisions in my life. Can I get $3 billion?

NVIDIA has shittons of bucks to spend.I think Qualcomm is probably one of the potential buyers that's least likely to have antitrust issues. Although I don't think Intel is going to be receptive anyway.
Also I think the first thing Qualcomm would do is probably to get rid of the fabs.

If the sale is a rescue attempt, US regulators will wave it through, and as two American companies that don't really directly depend on much things overseas, the government would just tell any foreign regulators to go kick rocks. Antitrust isn't an issue here. NV just probably really doesn't want to.NVIDIA wouldn't get past the anti-trust.
That's a horrifying thought.You need to think outside the box.
Like... Oracle.

If Jensen accepts such a deal, he would probably dismantle Intel, keep only 2 departments: the foundry and the CPU department (to make CPUs with X86, ARM and a mixture of both). He would make Intel very lean and probably very mean too.NVIDIA is probably uninterested in buying Intel.
