Intel is already behind AMD -- they have no product segment where they are absolutely superior. The means AMD is setting the market pace.
On top of this Apple is switching to ARM designed CPUs. This also looks to be a vote of no confidence in Intel.
The consensus seems to be that Intel who have their own fabs -- never really nailed anything under 14nm and are now being outcompeted.

There are some who would argue this claim, but I think it's at least a defensible one. Still, availability is an important factor that isn't captured by benchmarking. AMD has had CPU inventory trouble in the low-end laptop segment and high-end desktop segment alike. > The consensus seems to be that Intel who have their own fabs -- never really nailed anything under 14nm and are now being outcompeted. Intel has done well with 10nm laptop CPUs. They were just very late to the party. Desktop and server timelines have been quite a bit worse. I agree Intel did not nail 10nm, but they're definitely hanging in there. It's one process node at the cusp of transition to EUV, so some of the defeatism around Intel may be overzealous if we keep in mind that 7nm process development has been somewhat parallel to 10nm because of the difference in the lithographic technology.
