I guess the death of faster hardware is here. They have no reason to improve as intel doesnt care about competing with them

What do you mean? I don’t think Intel does not care about competing with ARM, they’ve been trying to make super low consumption chips like Intel Atom

Capitalism trends towards monopoly.

I guess with Intel closing their chip division, this is just the next step.

Intel isn’t closing their chip division. They own chip factories but are having trouble improving that, so they might have to use factories owned by other companies like TSMC.

So they’re still making chips, but not using them?

They design chips and manufacture them with the factories they own today. In the past few years they’ve become less competitive against AMD, their main competitor. AMD used to own factories but sold them long ago so they use TSMC factories.

Intel has been trying to fix their issues for a while but it looks like it won’t be resolved soon so they’ll design their own chips as usual but they will manufacture with someone else. Which is bad since they spent a lot on money on the factories, in short.

That’s why AMD’s stock price has gone up recently and Intel’s has gone down

Man if only someone predicted the inevitability of capitalism to generate monopolies

whaaaaaat, you’re saying that not only is it inevitable but if I strip away every minor regulation speed bump in the way of monopolies forming then they will just form faster and more frequently

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

does arm even do anything except patent hoard and milk the money? or do they actually make the chips and quallcomm/samsung/huawei/apple just slap their branding and graphics chips on them?
