Robert Noyce is gone and he is not coming back.
Dell will soon be selling workstations with AMD CPUs.

And yet my 10+ yr old processors handle text, audio and HD video just fine....

I’ve heard that Intel has been putting a lot of emphasis on neural engines. It would make sense to me to abandon x86 architecture in favor of something a little more 21st century.
As far as 10nm or 6nm or whatever winds up being the lower limit I have also heard of wafer-scale integration which means that die size is no longer a major limiting factor in future generations of machines.
If have to buy some stock in either Intel or (TSM)
With one should I pick?
Intel is at $35.39
TSM is at $89.77

An AMD box is always cheaper than the intel version of the same machine.
Unless it’s for something demanding I have been buying AMD for the last 4 years over intel.

Intel stock 5 years ago was $38.08
Today it is $35.39 !
