“ That raises the question of how the company would deal with competitors that are armed with its very own technology - and perhaps beating Intel's own internal product teams with better processor designs. While Gelsinger didn't answer my entire question, he certainly gave us plenty to ponder.”

Oh, I can tell you: by slow-walking the production of superior competition and demanding ever more money for the privilege, until the competition gets the message and gets lost. Then, Intel sues to stop 3rd party production, because it’s using Intel’s IP.

If you expect anything else, I have a bridge to sell you.
