Or you force them to license their patents and I.P. to alternative suppliers on reasonable terms, invest money in all of the players in that market, and the best players grab more market. If building a fab, it should probably not be managed by Intel but could pay them for their tech. Intel should get much less of the money since their management is the problem.
I’ll note that the only reason there even is a good market for x86 is that Intel was forced to license patents to AMD. Centaur and Transmeta had their innovations, too. More competition, esp building on proven fabs and I.P., would be the best route for the x86 ecosystem.
Likewise, IBM has competing suppliers in POWER markets. Apple bought the power-efficient one. ARM’s model is pro-competition with the huge number of good products showing what my Intel proposal might accomplish.
