First, how does selling stock prevent them from doing that? Second, switching to Arm doesn't automatically give them a competitive microarchitecture for smartphones.


I agree it doesn't prevent them, but if they were to join the ARM train, I don't think they would have sold.

Does Intel have a competitive microarchitecture in Pc chips at the moment? Arguably, no, they stay afloat with brand recognition and OEM deals.


May be they are simply selling the ARM stock now because it is over priced?

Intel seems to be pretty decent at designing chips but not very good at making them these days.


>I don't think they would have sold.

Because?
