I think the low TDPs have to be the scariest thing for Intel. Really interested to see what they can do in the 15-25W range for notebooks and their server stuff.

I have to wonder if the AMDs console win for the current generation gave them this badly needed R&D to reach decent TDP.

How so? The R&D budget is even lower than before AMD got the console deals.

Its still better than nothing. AMD management is dysfunctional, they treat engineering as a cost and were cutting it badly during K9-K10 era.
