Among the biggest players, Apple actually kind of makes sense? They've poured billions into moving off Intel and are doing well They have no interest in x86. But Intel has fabs and (I'm guessing) a huge truckload of valuable patents. Apple has been kicking ass with their CPUs but a large percentage of this is due to throwing lots of money at TSMC to tie up their cutting edge fabs. But there is uncertainty in TSMC's future thanks to the China/Taiwan/USA situation, and Apple also has no real control over TSMC aside from giving them bucketloads of cash. That's not a situation Apple loves to be in, and they have the cash to do something about it....
