To judge by anything on the record, you would think nobody at Intel has much love for anything asynchronous, but it's worth keeping in mind that Intel funded and later acquired a startup called Asynchronous Design Technology, later renamed Fulcrum Microsystems, to the tune of something like $100 million all together, and then let it slip under the radar. Last I checked its domain had been taken over by a tech blog. People from Intel have also usually put in an appearance at the IEEE Asynchronous conferences over the years. I'd venture to guess they know a thing or two about async at Intel but it's fine with them if the rest of us don't.
