Intel are screwed. Many of its biggest customers have started just making their own chips instead. The bleeding edge of compute appears to be falling to Nvidia (who now make both the chips and the network that connects them). Their latest GPU project is going the way of their other GPU projects. They don't even have the biggest/baddest fab capability thing going on any more. I have no idea what's going on in there, but I can imagine, and it's not pretty.

> How is Intel an underdog next to AMD? I don't know many business machines running AMD.

I don't know what a "business machine" is, but you probably aren't intimately familiar with organizations that have been directly purchasing large amounts of processors or processor containing devices over the last several years. For many such entities, AMD has made way more sense than Intel.

Intel has been shitting the bed for a decade+ now
