This is what Intel supporters always say till the time everyone builds those chips and there is no market left for Intel at all. It is just so sad that Intel, which had such a ferocious lead and was on the cutting edge of processor design/manufacturing, is now dying from a thousand cuts.

Just look at the industry - everyone who is a major player in cloud, AI, or mobile (Apple, Huawei, & Samsung) are now in the chip business themselves. How will Intel grow? And where would this so called scale advantage come in?

Wake up and smell the coffee.




How is Intel dying? Losing a near monopoly is a far cry from dying.

And Amazon's Graviton/armv8 chips aren't going to be competitive for many workloads. If you look up benchmarks you'll see they generally aren't competitive in terms of performance[1].

They'll only be competitive in terms of cost (and, generally, not even performance/cost).

I'm personally pleased that there is more competition but I find that saying Intel is dying to be silly.

And it sure doesn't help that Amazon won't be selling desktop PCs or on-prem servers anytime soon.


Well, they did announce Amazon Outpost as well...
