What a shit show. And if it is confirmed that laptop CPU are also affected, even if to a lower extent, AMD will be the only option on consumer hardware in the coming couple of years. Thankfully, Qualcomm entered the scene recently which should stir up the competition and prevent AMD from resting on its laurels.

Honestly, regardless of what happens to Intel, I’m hopeful for Qualcomm providing a real alternative in the CPU space, especially an alternative as meaningfully different as using an entirely different instruction set. More diversity between competing products in the space can only be a good thing since it gives consumers more meaningful choices to make when deciding between products.
