There are more secret deals and shifting alliances than in "Game of Thrones" right now.

House AMD- what are your words? "Keep Hell Warm."

I thought I read somewhere about Intel being willing to start opening up their fabs for bidders . . . I have nothing to back that up but a vague memory of some online article, though. Wonder if Intel will sell some fab time to NVidia? Highly doubt they would sell AMD any, even at top dollar though!

Intel is a rare breed; to design and build their own CPUS. Barely anyone makes their own CPU or GPU, especially mobile. But Intel does, they were always that way and will stay that way. Fabs have 1000s of people passing through them daily, vendors, contractors, and actual Fab (intel, tsmc, gloFo) employees. The processes are coveted, lithography can be stolen, intel is copy exact super anal, no way they'll let someone else make their CPUs and I doubt they'll share fab time, seems like they're always building a new one.
