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.

The sad thing is they have good tech.

Battlemage is good. The small cores are quite efficient for their size. Intel 18A is awesome if they can get it out, their multi chip packaging tech is great and largely proven, graphics drivers are coming along (even if compute is kinda spinning wheels).

But they can’t stop footgunning themselves! Or pursuing redundant software, or canceling projects on the cusp of fruition, or missing obvious market niches or shipping weird configs out of decent hardware, or infighting…
