AMD is not the competitor they need to worry about.
The future will belong to manufacturers that can produce powerful CPUs that power a device for a day on a single charge, without needing fans for cooling (like what we see with the ARM-based M1 from Apple).
Low power/reduced heating costs will also be a big draw for cloud providers.
If Intel can't compete there they'll be in trouble.
- philistine 5y agoSaying that Intel caught up to AMD is like saying Ford is saved because they won Le Mans. Come back to me when Intel can achieve M1 performance with the same power enveloppe.
- tpxl 5y agoM1 is not an x86 competitor, it's a laptop manufacturer competitor for the likes of Dell, Lenovo, ... I'll never buy a M1 CPU for my desktop because they wont sell me one to put in a rig I build.
