I grant I'm not as up on the CPU Wars™ as I used to be ... but when is the last time Intel offered <i>anything</i> in their mainstream (desktop and/or server) CPUs that was in any way <i>new</i> or <i>interesting</i> or <i>compelling</i>?<p>AMD seems to have won the the 64-bit x86 war (though Intel's hanging on for reasons I don't understand) in raw processing, cycles-per-watt, etc<p>ARM's got the mobile market (for now)<p>And RISC-V is the spunky upstart in the embedded (and, slowly, beyond) realm<p>What does Intel have going for it ... beyond name recognition?
