Intel processor architecture is not a leading design for 2020. Intel security is a nightmare, think Meltdown and many others. The whole BIOS and ME stuff are nightmares. So every setback for Intel could be a step forward for the IT industry and for software development. Who is worried that we don't use steam engines any more and their manufacturers have disappeared from the market? Unfortunately the long-lasting close-to-monopoly of Intel has not left too much room for new winners to develop.

Still they copied ME with the same stubborness in refusing to make it more transparent, they stopped allowing open-source initialization and they don't have a much better record in security
