On April 1st, the global tech world was shaken by the announcement that AMD would acquire all of Intel through a historic stock transaction. From a position of constantly chasing, imitating, and suing to survive, AMD is now poised to become the new owner of the x86 architecture, merging two sworn enemies under one roof. After the initial surprise, the tech community pointed out that this was just a typical April Fool's Day prank, orchestrated by the tech news site TechSpot .

Throughout the history of computing, Intel has always been the "king" with its overwhelming scale and power. However, recently, its slow pace of innovation has caused Intel to falter. Conversely, AMD, with its sharp strategy under Lisa Su, has consistently "conquered" segments from servers to laptops, winning the complete trust of Wall Street.

Therefore, the news of AMD's acquisition of Intel on April 1st may come as a surprise to the tech community. However, a massive deal like the Intel acquisition (worth hundreds of billions of USD) would have to go through numerous antitrust laws in the US and the European Union (EU) and involve lengthy negotiations and agreements. Global regulatory bodies would never allow a single entity to completely monopolize the x86 architecture worldwide.

In terms of financial scale, although AMD's market capitalization has surpassed Intel's, acquiring a giant with such a massive manufacturing infrastructure as Intel is too much of a financial burden for AMD to handle at the moment.
