If Intel could get by without the enthusiast market, I feel like they would in a heartbeat. They've been overclocking hostile for almost two decades now (to varying degrees at varying times), seemingly make no efforts towards cross-generation socket compatibility, and are now using PCIe I/O connectivity as a club to drive buyers to higher-margin chips. Aside from the K chips and the unlocked Pentiums, I'm hard-pressed to think of anything Intel has intentionally done to cater to the enthusiast market in recent memory. And even K-chips are a token gesture in response to a problem they created.
