AMD wasn’t quite “happy” to sell their fabs, it was necessitated because they were facing bankruptcy. People forget but the prevailing opinion was that AMD was going to bankrupt.
I doubt Global Foundries is even in the position to buy Intel, they’d most likely want to give them a cash infusion in exchange for tech or for selling fabs (which intel would probably accept, since their fabs are currently under-utilised… they have too much capacity). That would be good for GF.
Everyone is focusing on Musk but uh, Global Foundries wants to be involved in buying Intel?
The same Global Foundries that’s utterly incapable of progressing their tech stack?
The one AMD created when they got rid of their foundries and was happy to do so?
That amuses the shit out of me.
