Agreed. They've also got a big process-node lead on everyone else in the market; I find it hard to believe they can't leverage that to optimize whatever processor design parameters they need to.
- Osmium 14y agoThe process node lead won't last forever though. We're going to reach the end of silicon soon, by the mid-2020s at least. Whatever replaces it isn't necessarily going to be from Intel, because they don't have expertise in much besides silicon. I wouldn't be surprised if it's another player, like IBM, that finally cracks it.
- BruceIV 14y agoFair enough. But that gives Intel at least another decade at the top. A lot can happen in that time.
