To say things are looking rough for Intel would be an understatement of the century.

I don't really like Intel's CPUs and their overall computing ecosystem but I REALLY don't want Intel to die.

A monopoly with AMD would still be terrible for everyone even if AMD's been doing solid work. No one wins except for those at the top in monopolistic systems.

Small companies can exist forever. Texas Instruments still pumps out tens of billions of components. It doesn't have to be a monopoly.

TI is not a small company, heh. And they're a manufacturer.

Consumer CPUs and GPUs were AMD's business, and they would be little more than a skeleton (or acquired by someone) without that.
