Proper leadership would have taken this risk seriously, and would not have tied up microarchitecture development so much to process improvement. Basing your strategy so fully on Moore's Law keeping up is a recipe for disaster. Clearly Sunny Cove works on 14nm (that's what they're releasing next year!), and they had all the technology available to release that in 2018 too - maybe with lower clocks and core counts. Seems like a classic textbook case of a large coorporation not understanding how to change their ways, ending up being beaten by a more agile smaller competitor. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.
