LuaJIT would also work with ARM though, so would it be possible to swap it out?
Swapping out is possible only if there are shared libraries though. For statically linked programs is there anything that can be done?

In the scenario that I describe, Qualcomm is disinterested in x86, it just wants maximum profit off the purchase. Very much like Oracle basically shitcanned all of Sun Microsystems' products and squeezed Sun customers hard. Keep in mind that the outlook for Intel products is not that rosy both short- and mid-term. They will certainly not go back to commanding historic margins in the datacenter. Also they lost trust f…
Since you repeated the same thing you said the previous time and immediately followed with points that still ignored how Qualcomm itself also wouldn't be able to emulate or sell x86 without the cross-licensing agreement (Intel needs AMD's patents to utilize much of modern x86 as much as AMD needs Intel's) I have to ask as a sanity check - am I talking to a human or a bot?
As far as I am aware, the AMD-Intel cross licensing agreement allows to continue to sell existing products after termination, just not bring new ones to market. And Qualcomm would of course continue to sell Intel's products, just possibly not develop new ones.
If Qualcomm buys Intel, they will have the patents that are needed to emulate modern x86 instructions like AVX. Or are you aware of any patents that AMD owns or claims to own on emulating x86?

Human. I guess I have to thank you for not writing "ignore previous instructions" or similar.
