> Because they have them by the balls. Not really, like you mentioned in some ML/HPC contexts GPU computing with commonly Nvidia GPU is a better solution in the desktop marked AMD's recent CPU's are viable alternatives and that also applies for many usages in the server marked. And on mobile, well Intel CPUs never did really compete. Same for game consoles. Oh and for low power embedded systems it's often ARM and for thinks which also need GPU (self driving cars) it's ARM+Nvidea. I mean sure parts of server the server marked are build on things like Intels (not so) secure enclave and then for some gaming workloads Intel CPU's still beat AMD and for not supper expensive software dev. workstations Intel also still is the best choice as the current CPU+embedded GPU chips from AMD for desktop still use their old CPU. Through on thing which shouldn't be forgotten is that they have their hands in a lot of other things including: - FPGA, if you use certain ML algorithm a lot putting them onto a FPGA can be a massive power and time saver. So the Intel CPU + FPGA are quite interesting for such cases. - Graphics, Intel is about to bring out a dedicated graphic card. Probably not interesting for high end usages but it might be a use-full solution for budged setups or GPU servers (It's often monetary better to have multiple smaller cards then one big cards, it's not uncommon for GPU server to have Nvidea 2080ties instead of Quadros etc.). - Hard drives, Optan "SSD" are not very well marked but while they are not necessary the fastest SSD's they have good latencies which can make them preferable for some use-cases. - ... Another thing which can be beneficial for them in the coming 10 years is that they do not depend on TSCM. One funny thing I noticed is that Intel can build a good part of a computer today: CPU + GPU + Motherboard + Network Card + Drives + FPGA + OS (Clear Linux), so add RAM, PSU, Cooling, Cables & Case and you have a Intel only desktop ;-)
