Rather than splitting up and selling off the company, the ex-AMD chip boffin has a more traditional value-building strategy in mind: &#8220;You build value by having a great goal and a team that loves working to the goal. Intel built the fastest CPUs on the best process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Further driving the point home, he <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jimkxa\/status\/1891993887125729403\">posts again<\/a>, saying: &#8220;I think a great Intel is worth $1 trillion. Seems a little careless to throw it away.&#8221; The implication being, to me at least, let&#8217;s make Intel great again.<\/p>\n<p>We can probably assume that&#8217;s what the Trump administration will be thinking, too\u2014add a MIGA to its MAGA, why not? A strong Intel means a strong US chip industry, and the alternative is selling off an Intel chipmaker to foreign companies, presumably tariffing the resultant chips into oblivion.<\/p>\n<p>The talk on the ground hasn&#8217;t been settled of late\u2014people can&#8217;t seem to decide which company or companies would likely buy Intel&#8217;s chip design and\/or fabrication divisions. Conflicting reports had it that TSMC both was and also wasn&#8217;t supposed to be <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/tsmc-now-said-not-to-be-eyeing-up-intels-fabs-while-other-rumours-suggest-intel-could-be-split-between-tsmc-and-broadcom\/\" target=\"_blank\">in talks to buy Intel&#8217;s fabs<\/a>. And there&#8217;s been talk of Broadcam acquiring the design side if another company such as TSMC took the fabs.<\/p>\n<p>A Broadcom sale would keep at least some of Intel in the hands of the US (well, a US-based company, at least), and this possibility is in fact what Keller was responding to.

Could we trust the state to succeed in making Intel great again?<\/p>\n<p>If Keller&#8217;s correct and a good Intel can make for a $1 trillion chipmaking company, then maybe it <em>would <\/em>be a little careless to throw it away.
