I think the other elephant in the room that not many are talking about is that we have reached a point where most people do not need the latest and great CPU anymore - many can still get by with something 5 years+ old. In the old days stagnation like this could have been a death sentence for Intel but modern times are much more forgiving if they can still play catchup eventually.
- michaelt 5y agoIsn't that just a sign that Intel hasn't managed to make any compelling products?
- throwaway821909 5y agoBack when Intel were really resting on their laurels it was hard to tell. Now we have M1/Ryzen you can reach some sort of conclusion depending on your view of those: - doesn't unlock some major new application for computers, 99% just want Office 365, which ran just as well on Sandy Bridge -> whole industry stagnated, being a couple of years behind is fine - (M1 especially) battery life/perf is improved in a way that will matter to many -> Intel specifically risk being left behind in sector that still has the potential for big changes
