Kak je krenulo, sve je moguće, ali realno nikome osim države ne treba to Intelovo sidro oko vrata. AMD je sličnu kalvariju prošel prije dvadesetak godina sa svojim fabrikama, dok je nVidia od samog početka fabless, tak da nemaju nekakvu računicu. AMD svakak ne treba još jedan potencijalni rub propasti, jer su bili prisiljeni spašavati konkurenciju, koja je svojevremeno tijekom najžešćeg monopola plaćala grde nofce Dellu, HP-u i OEM društvu općenito, samo da ne nude AMD proizvode.
I pored svih problema koji su ih snašli, Intel zajedno s novim direktorom ima i
dodatne peripetije.

US lawmaker questions Intel CEO's ties to China in letter to company board chair
Citiraj:
U.S. Republican Senator Tom Cotton sent a letter to Intel's board chair on Wednesday with questions about the chipmaker's new CEO Lip-Bu Tan's ties to Chinese firms and a recent criminal case involving his former company Cadence Design. Writing to "express concern about the security and integrity of Intel's operations and its potential impact on U.S. national security", Cotton asked in the letter to Intel chairperson Frank Yeary whether the company's board was aware of the subpoenas sent to Cadence during Tan's time there as CEO before Intel hired him. Cotton asked what measures were taken to address those concerns. He also asked whether Intel's board required Tan to divest from chip firms in China linked to the Chinese military or Communist Party, and if Tan adequately disclosed other ties to Chinese companies due to Intel's involvement in the Secure Enclave program, an initiative designed under the Biden administration to ensure a secure supply of microelectronics for defense. Because of Intel getting federal funding under the initiative, Cotton questioned Yeary in the letter about Tan's disclosures related to investment, professional roles or other ties to Chinese companies.
