The cross licensing deal between AMD & Intel collapses if one gets bought out. Here is an old article that's probably still accurate that describes it. (Has some great quotes that have not aged well....)

If that's still true, a buyout might end up killing x86/x64 in favour of arm etc.

I also don't think trump would agree without relocating TSMCs HQ to the US or something. Competition is good anyway, we really don't want to be in a situation where there is only one fab company with anywhere near too tech.
