Intel has a good process and good-enough packaging tech. They have good IP to combine.
They have all the pieces they need to be alright if they can just stop the internal corporate Game of Thrones, and stop footgunning themselves.

I’m no expert, but it seems like their fab and design have lagged.
Yes, they have. They are late.
But 18A and 14A are still good, considering the capacity shortages everyone’s facing.
In terms of designs, Arc is good, the small cores are good, the big cores are… not as good, but fine as long as they aren’t clocked to the moon. They canceled a lot of stuff like Gaudi and Xe HPC, but that’s water under the bridge now.
I think rapidly “server” is becoming GPU and “user” is becoming power-efficient (but still fast) Arm chips.
I wouldn’t want to go down with the Xeon and desktop/laptop ship.
I know how critical I sound and there’s a case for Intel to make sensitive (read: defense) chips domestically, but they need a good kick in the pants, not sweetheart deals.

Intels problems are self defeating inflicted. That’s why Intel keeps losing
