Only hope they have is the government bailing them out. Good riddance to them either way.Nonsense clickbait headlines.

That would be rubbish.![]()
Intel is Dead and x86 is Next (Premium)
The x86 instruction set that once defined personal computing is now a boat anchor holding back the PC industry.www.thurrott.com
For the vast majority of people that code doesn't matter.That would be rubbish.
Unfortunately billions, if not trillions of lines of code are still for the x86-64 platform, and that software is not going anywhere soon.
It does, when salaries are to be paid, and transactions are to be processedFor the vast majority of people that code doesn't matter.
How did Intel go from the go-to CPU you'd buy to being on the ropes like this, damn.![]()

Intel, which started the year with a market cap of over $200 billion, is now worth just $90 billion, less than half that figure and it's still going down.
It might have rested on its laurels for sure, but it isn't going anywhere. Intel is a serious tech machine, anyone who doubts that is smoking crack. They don't just make your sons gaming CPU.
x86 dominates in all but literally the mobile phone market. Sure Intel will push into ARM but it's not a be all end all.
You could argue 95% of phones use ARM and 95% of servers use x86.
They are pushing into the AI GPU market, but it does take time as this is new to them. Nvidia must have such a backlog that Intel need to try and cut some of the pie. Will be very interesting to see what Intel comes up with in the next year or two to try edge into Nvidia (TSMC) share
Its much the same as IBM died mantra.
They made massive missteps which cost them market share, and even markets themselves.. but the company never died and has a market cap of over 200 billion dollars today.
in today's world everyone effs up a few hundred billion dollars here and there
Intel will be back stronger than ever.... it just might take a few years, but they're not going anywhere.
I'm on the fence about whether x86 is on the way out or not. While I definitely don't see it going away anytime soon I can see a world where the majority of new PC and laptop sales could start shifting to ARM, it wouldn't surprise me if this shift happened over quite a short time. Consider that every Apple computer that ships today is already ARM.
Data centre will probably continue using mixed architecture for a while to come, x86 still has a place there but the big players (Google, Amazon) are already making their own ARM based chips for their specific needs.
Insanely capital intensive industry with those revenue numbers dropping faster than they can turn things around mean you need to delete a few
Intel at the moment is still in a better position than AMD was 10-15 years ago, and look at AMD now. AMD was so unwanted that not even SIs/OEMs were using their products.What I do think is certain is that Intel’s dominance in the industry has come to an end and it is unlikely that they will ever regain it.
