To say things are looking rough for Intel would be an understatement of the century.

I don't really like Intel's CPUs and their overall computing ecosystem but I REALLY don't want Intel to die.

A monopoly with AMD would still be terrible for everyone even if AMD's been doing solid work. No one wins except for those at the top in monopolistic systems.

Unless they pull another conroe out of their ass, they're going to be relegated to the low end space for a while. Doesn't necessarily have to be the nail in the coffin. If AMD could recover from the mess that was bulldozer, so can Intel. They just need the right leadership in place but that's easier said than done.

CEOs don't save companies anymore.

If they're not currently extremely profitable, they strip them down and sell all the remnants to the highest bidder, take their bonuses from the sales, and then go do the same thing to another company.

CEOs haven't been for building companies for a long time. They've been for squeezing the golden goose to death and then getting the most value for the meat, because someone will just give them another goose.
