Including Intel, apparently. I still think they were heading in roughly the right direction a decade ago with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larrabee_(microarchitecture) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larrabee_(microarchitecture), but then they they seemed to just... kind of give up on it.
These days if I hear rumors that Intel might be about to do something bold, I don't hold my breath. I'm not saying they definitely won't find a way to recover from this current stagnation, but I've been disappointed enough times now that I'll believe it only if and when I see it on shelves and in real world benchmarks.
