Intel is a has-been

I just invest in Intel, I’ve never invested in Intel before because I’ve never been extremely enthusiastic about how they run their business. They only do what is enough to suppress competition, any more is just stealing future profits. The current chip design features and all attributed to AMD, not Intel.
AMD redesigned the CPU bus into a point to point architecture, Intel had to copy to keep up.
AMD extended the x86 instruction set to the x86-64, Intel decided to dump x86 and go with a clean design, flushing away comparability. Intel wasted tuns of money on Itanium, which was an unmitigated disaster. Intel took out other RISC competitors to clear the way for Itanium. HP purchased Compaq, which had the IP to DEC Alpha, which was transferred to Intel. Wasted… AMD designed the multi-chip packages, enhancing yields and providing a module chip design. Intel still has not done this.
Intel has always seemed underhanded to me, while in collage in the early nineties, I worked for a PC clone manufacture. Intel told us that we could get better pricing if we sold Intel exclusively. At the time, Intel top of the pine was the i486 DX2-50 and it cost a ton of money, we sold AMD i386-DX40 machines all day long because they were cheap and worked great, for most people.
I’ve known people that worked at Intel, I understand is a cancerous environment in which managers encourage the no rules competition among co-workers.
I wouldn’t invest in Intel, I’ve own AMD several times but never Intel, well until today, you see, I had a gun put to my head and I was told to invest in Intel. This is not how we should be conducting ourselves. I can understand the national security position, TSMC is Taiwan based but has a new FAB in Arizona, they have the worlds best chip technology by a large margin. If I was going to be forced, lets pick the best, not a has-been like Intel.

Due to trying to compete with AMD, they released chips goosed to to such an extent that they were failing due to damage. The solution, slow down the customers performance.
The manufacturing side of Intel hasn’t been able to keep up with TSMC, Intel has been struggling for years. AMD spun off their manufacturing ARM and went with TSMC.
We should be inverting in TSMC and not Intel. Very poor investment decision I made, which the gun wasn’t pointed at my head.
