Jim Keller is throwing the $1 trillion valuation for the entertainment purpose.
Intel doesn't have a CEO, doesn't have a strategy, and doesn't have a trusted Board of Directors right now. Before settling down all those basic yet critical issues, any number of Intel valuation is a good number but a meaningless number.
I don't know if Jim Keller is interested in becoming the CEO of the Intel. But I'm sure TSMC doesn't want to get involved in the Intel venture. It's just too political, too expensive, too big, too much conflict of interest, and too complicated. The only reason TSMC doesn't reject this idea outright is because of Trump.
At this moment the most important thing for Intel is to hire a capable CEO, either a turnaround master or a spinoff expert. But the chaotic situations and dramatic proposals we saw recently may discourage any CEO candidates to join Intel.
In terms of Intel's valuation, it is really not important right now.
Have you seen any CEO have any real consequences from failing a company? Most of the times, they are fired with a huge compensation that they can live for the rest of their lives without working anymore, drinking pina colladas and laughing all the way to the bank. Usually engineers and workers suffer from the whole process. In that context, I am not discouraged to apply for the job! hahahahaha count me in!
