IIRC Intel and AMD have a patent sharing agreement that dissolves if either is purchased.

That's just a thing that needs to be renegotiated - highly doubt these two are getting into a patent war given the state of x86. Unless Intel gets acquired by a litigious company to go after AMD :shrug:

Gov would bail out intel or amd lol, this would negate American tech dominance and would try to prevent that
