Intel dropped the ball completely, and it will take years to catch up, if they ever do again. Could be a very long time.
If you believe they will become market leader again, buy stocks now. They are dirt cheap and could double or triple the money in maybe 3 to 5 years if they somehow come back from this.

That has me worried. Intel was what kept AMD honest. With AMD in the lead, there will be no real alternative to AMD
ifwhen AMD turns evil, since Intel does not take security seriously (the Intel Management Engine is insecure by design).
Two reasons:
- Nvidia is mostly closed source so no driver on Linux without reverse engineering
- Steam deck and other handhelds device
Nvidia doesn’t make CPUs, which is what this headline is referring to. The headline is still a bit surprising because Intel’s Linux support is first-class, but yeah, there’s more than a million Steam Decks out there in the wild now, I imagine that accounts for a large chunk of this stat
For me, choosing AMD in my newest laptop over Intel boiled down to iGPU. In previous years I had an Intel with their iGPU, which was underwhelming. For the next one, I chose Intel with a discrete Nvidia card, which was a mistake due to a power drain, proprietary drivers, and all-around hustle. For the first time in decades, I chose AMD CPU, finally lifting away the resentment of anything ATI-related from decades ago. I must say that I am immensely happy with the choice, speed, reliability, power consumption, thermal control, and the iGPU (Rembrandt).
Were I in the market for a new laptop I imagine I’d go through nearly the same thought process. AMD iGPUs are quite good.
