They would technically have no market, because the Intel-AMD X86 license is non-transferable and expires if one party goes out of business.

IANAL, however:
- A token legal remnant of Intel, with 0 employees or properties, might suffice to keep that license ticking.
- If the stakes appeared to be "or America will lose it's ability to make computers", then the government might find a judge willing to sign off on just about any sort of counterfactual, "because national security".
