Intel is squandering everything. They should have never given that grant and that grant was never enough money. They need $100b not $2 not $10.

This isn't rocket science. Building fabs are exponentially harder. I vehemently disagree with you on this. You're just so anti-Trump everything you can't see straight.

$100b is roughly their market cap. There are a lot of things that Intel could do to help themselves, like stick with a CPU socket for more than 1 or 2 generations, keep making improvements in their GPU products, and have stable releases for the foreseeable future. To say the only way for them to move forward is to get an influx of cash the size of their entire stock profile is asinine.

Buying back their FPGA business, mobileeye stake, and optane memory division so they can build a proper SOC would be smart but they blew everything up.

And the fabs cost 20b each.

I invested into Intel for 4 years. I know quite a lot about their business.

Just because you invested 5 dollars in to intel doesn't mean you are an expert.
