It seems like Intel wasted at least 5 years. They thought they are invincible and competition will never catch up, plus they thought if they change the model name and repackage to a new socket, people will still buy it. They however didn't consider the fact that people bought these processors, because there was nothing else and also new people are becoming teens and adults and they need computers as well. Maybe they also counted on brand loyalty? I think brand loyalty ends when you need to waste your time waiting for a task to complete.
I am so happy to pre-order 5950X. I will also buy new Threadripper when it gets released.

But that huge market drove investment in fab technology outside of Intel, and allowed them to close the gap and provide competitive, now superior, fabs to AMD.
