  • Arguments in favor of rescuing Intel:

    • It is a crucial sector; if a company goes bankrupt, it is difficult to recover for several years, because it is usually difficult for a new company if it does not have sufficient resources and/or support.
    • If Intel declares bankruptcy, it would leave AMD with a monopoly on x64 because, without a direct rival to compete with, the price of CPUs is likely to increase and, as a result, the price of PCs would also increase.
    • By rescuing Intel, the company can better plan its strategies and make long-term plans without pressure from shareholders to make a profit.
    • It would preserve many people’s jobs, keeping unemployment low and without affecting people’s finances.
    • Continue to maintain technological sovereignty in the country without the risk of another foreign company buying Intel’s technology.






  • I don’t know, because according to Poe’s data, American AI models are used more than Chinese ones. Although Poe is blocked in China, as are ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok. So, Chinese AI models cover the Chinese market.

    American AI companies follow the competitive model, each developing their own AI models and occasionally publishing their research. With a few exceptions, they end up using a standard published by an American AI company.

    Chinese companies follow the collaborative model, although they also compete somewhat. They develop their own AI models, publish their AI code, publish their research, and use standards.

    The American government obtains AI models by awarding contracts to the companies that develop them. The Chinese government obtains AI models from its companies for free.

    But Nvidia still has a lot of market share in GPUs, only AMD has 4%, Huawei only 2% and the rest is shared by others, Intel and minority companies.

    In a race it is never too much if they are still running, it only applies when the race is already over.
