They're increasingly loosing ground in the x86 market, but still have more than two thirds of it. They never fell behind, but they are on a path to do so, which means they aren't on a comeback either.

"...Whether the execution follows is the multibillion-dollar question." Caring whether the execution follows was so 20th-century. Tan sees how it is done today. It doesn't matter what you do. What matters is how you look doing it. It is all dance moves.

I wouldn’t call it a “comeback”. By making some desperate ‘deals’ and the new CEO pulling the company hard to the right, they’ve bought some time to delay the inevitable.

But Intel’s time as anything more than a manufacturing contractor are over.
