  1. A really short sighted view of the Intel/AMD competition. AMD traditionally lagged Intel in process, but at the end of the last century, AMD design lapped Intel and Intel was forced to drop their attempts to lead in processor design, Itanium, and follow AMD's design instead. At the same time, AMD lapped Intel in terms of multicore design. AMD managed to blow their lead of intel yet again, but made the essential move to farm out their fab operations -- just as most of the industry did. The result was they caught up to and passed Intel in process thanks to the Asian fabs. Intel hasn't regained their lead in process, and may never. What occurred was the evening of the desktop CPU market between Intel and AMD, but that market is (and has been) slowly declining vs. non-desktop environment dominated by ARM architectures, which neither Intel nor AMD make.
