AMD is equally fucked. Building off of IP-locked architectures is just a graveyard. Even apple will hit a wall one day.

- Incipient 1y agoThere are a myriad of companies that have thrived in "IP locked" environments, a host that have failed too. Equally there are heaps that have thrived and failed in "IP open" environments. I think at best you could say it's more challenging or perhaps risky being a bit restricted with IP, but I'd call it miles away from a "graveyard". You can hardly call Intel/amd/qualcomm etc all struggling due to the architectures being locked down. Look at powerpc/Isa. It's (entirely?) open and hasn't really done any better than x86. Fundamentally you're going to be tied to backwards compatibility to some extent. You're limited to evolution, not revolution. And I don't think x86 had failed to evolve? (eg avx10 is very new)
