A slow death over 10+ years can happen whatever Intel does. Doesn't make this a particularly big cojones move either. One needs quite a crystal ball to predict

A slow death over 10+ years can happen whatever Intel does. Doesn't make this a particularly big cojones move either. One needs quite a crystal ball to predict such slow deaths, especially when it's going to be decade where chip production improvements are expected to slow down further and further. Finally, a slow death looks even more likely anyway if Intel doesn't change their ways.
