Isn’t it amazing to realize that Apple currently has in the bank almost enough money to buy out IBM or Intel?
They don’t need to do it anymore, but if Apple wanted to kill Microsoft, they could buy Intel and announce: “x86, end of life, five years.”
Nobody ever wanted Windows on any other architecture. Windows NT for SPARC, PA/RISC, MIPS and Alpha all cratered.
What Apple would gain from buying Intel is the use of their process for chip fabrication, which could save them a significant amount of power in all the iOS devices.

And what Apple would lose from buying Intel is potentially all the patents cross-licensed from AMD, which would have to be renegotiated if either chip company is bought by another.
A lot of Intel 64-bit tech came from AMD….
still remember what a big deal it was the day apple passed microsoft.
That was a long time ago and still Apple’s P/E is well below Microsoft’s P/E for reasons I can’t quite fathom. For every fundamental metric I’ve looked into there is no logical reason why this should be.
the size of the company is a factor. the ones that wanted to own apple allready do (not saying this is the reason, but one of the reasons.. a big one)
Mr. or Mrs. Anal yzer, “Is your nose bleeding yet”?
Mike Dell not sounding off in public quite so much these days.
Wonder what caused that turnaround? Hmm
Jeez, it’s getting close to being worth double the next most valuable companies.
Real Networks?
In 2014, does anyone actually use Real Player?
Always my favorite headline! Quite possible that it repeats a few more times in the coming weeks, if not tomorrow!
Seems like the possibilities Apple could consider are beyond the wildest imagination of mere mortals.
