I think this is the most worrisome thing from Intel's perspective. Fighting off "good enough" (in both mobile and enterprise/data center).
It always seemed like the hyper-scale vendors' roadmap had to include "And when Intel reaches the end of process scaling, switch to lower-cost commodity vendor CPU" at some point in the future.
ARM x86 partnerships are one source. But resurrecting and improving other ISAs is another.
Of course, this reorg may be Intel putting all their chips into the data center basket to ensure they're always more competitive. Because, hats off to everyone there, they can work chip magic when they have to.
