Look at https://benchmark.chaos.com/v5/vray?index=1&ordering=desc&by... Intel can ill afford to think about forever. They have a runway built by illegal monopoly tactics. What that runway ends, the music stops unless they do something very drastic to their CPUs right now. In the V-Ray 5 benchmark, the fastest 96 core AMD CPU alone is 30% faster than the fastest Intel offering, 120 cores in two sockets -- and that's not the fastest CPU AMD offers.

This is not to say Intel will go bankrupt look at the number of quarters AMD spent in red but it really doesn't want to become #2.




And thats with a AMD duopoly where, frankly, AMD is happy to be anticompetitive here and there.

A near future with more ARM/RISC-V is very different.
