I can't see the news as positive.
By opening their factories to external designs they admit they can no longer survive on their own chips manufacturing. It is a new branch of business, but it is a lower margin one, comparing to vertically integrated manufacturing. There's a reason the world has more fabless silicon giants than fabs.
By renaming their technologies they show that the conclusion is that the issue is marketing. Maybe there's an issue with Intel's marketing, but the bigger one is Intel for a while now is not a technology leader. No amount of marketing will compensate that. The slide showing undisputed tech leadership by 2025 is just silly.
