I really don't understand why Intel's response to finally having a worthy competitor after market domination is just to absolutely crumble and hinder any potential return to form. It seems they had a good thing for a couple years with their last CEO, but they got rid of them right when the fruits of that labor started to show (chip work is usually a multi year long process, so results aren't regularly seen right away, is my understanding).
Because cannibalizing companies is the only thing capitalists know how to do to extract profit

The N stands for network
I guess my next system should be an AMD just because Intel may not be around for much longer to support.
I wonder how many of them are going to emigrate to China ans Europe.
… and my sword?
Google and Apple will be happy to add to their existing talent.

Google. laid of thousands. Apple laid off hundreds. Mostly from their car program that went nowhere and cost billions.
