AMD and QCOM might as well kiss their chances of government PC contracts goodbye when the US gets its preferred stock position. Maybe Q can get $10 bill in US government money to even the playing field. It wasn't so long ago that I remember the complaints about the government picking winners and losers; and, here it is unfolding in front of our eyes. Does anyone really believe that if INTC needed to raise $10 bil from the open market, it couldn't? Does anyone really believe that all INTC needed was $10 bil to right its ship? This US transaction - if true - is worth way more to INTC than $10 bil; it's also blind support for INTC selling to the US PCs. In essence, INTC gets its $10 bil in capital investment and also gets its government PC contracts. (From Google AI: "In 2014 alone, federal agencies awarded over 10,000 contracts for desktops and laptops, totaling approximately $1.1 billion." My bet is that number has grown considerably higher since 2014.)
