AMD wasn’t quite “happy” to sell their fabs, it was necessitated because they were facing bankruptcy. People forget but the prevailing opinion was that AMD was going to bankrupt within a few years.
Their pre-Su CEO, Rory Read, often gets shit online for being there during a bad period, but he made some difficult and necessary decisions that saved AMD. Part of that was the GF selloff.
I highly doubt Global Foundries is even in the position to buy Intel, they’d most likely want to give them a cash infusion in exchange for tech or for selling fabs (which intel would probably accept, since their fabs are currently under-utilised… in other words they have too much capacity, and yet are still building more because Chips Act says they have to). That would be good for GF.
