Apple left Intel behind four years ago now, but a resurrected rumor says Apple is thinking about buying the long-running chipmaker. It's absolute nonsense, but if it ever happened, it would make a curious end to the Wintel story.
While I can see why there’s a lot of doubt I can see one reason they would.
For years now Apple has been moving things in house, like moving from Intel to their own designs and chips. And moving away from Snapdragon to their own modems.
If they wanted to buy intel it would be for their fab capabilities to reduce their reliance on TSMC.
Do I think they will… probably not, but as I said, I can see why they would.
