I don't know why Intel has continued down this path so aggressively. The article says that they introduced 32 new processors. This is a small incremental update to keep the same architecture and process size from lagging behind the rest of the ecosystem and now there are 32 new cpus that don't perform much better than what came out half a decade ago.
What do you expect Intel to do? Keep selling the same CPUs? Declare themselves bankrupt? Switch to TSMC for chip production? They are doing what they can in this situation. And I'm sure that their sales are far from zero.
I think there is a middle ground where they don't release 32 brand new CPUs. Have you looked at the lineup of Intel CPUs? There are now hundreds with extremely minor differences.
