This is exactly the purpose of competition, it shouldn’t be news.

It's news because it's fun to finally see intel face the heat of competition after so many decades.

I disagree. This should be news because it's as close as an official declaration that Intel acknowledges it's time as the world's leading chip manufacturer is over, and that the crown is nowadays firmly on AMD's head.

Also, Intel's long history of using unethical tricks to preserve their market share while avoidig competing on price also makes this a historical turn of events.

I am sure Intel and AMD relize that being x86 is no longer the advantage it used to be.

You're being premature here. Intel still makes more profit in one quarter than AMD makes revenue in multiple years. Intel still puts out more than 10x as many CPUs as AMD does in a year in one quarter.
