Idea: Partnership Between Altera and Intel for Creating Innovative MCUs Based on FPGA Using x86 Core

First, I want to express huge thanks to the user AK6DN, who correctly pointed out the current state of affairs at Intel. Thanks to his insight, we can dive deeper into the potential for collaboration...

Altera and Intel tried partnering. It was basically a business disaster for Intel and not much better for Altera.

If Altera did not find X86 technology compelling/useful when they were owned by Intel why should they find it
a benefit now that they are no longer have a close business relationship?

I am not sure who you think your audience is here.

This board is for folks having technical issues with Altera devices and/or software, and are looking for help.

Besides nobody wants a giant power hungry X86 device on an FPGA. An ARM or RISCV is the perfect technical choice.
