You're talking about very old events. Intel made mistakes during 2000-2005 (which allowed the rise of Opteron) but they crushed it from 2006-2016. Then they had different problems from 2016-2024.

Intel went into Rest & Vest mode after Haswell (4000 series) in 2013 - they hardly improved until 2020 - 6 lost generations of relabeled CPUs like 13000 - 14000 series (lots of money paid for innovative new igpu marketing names like 520 and 620!). They found out that community college talent does not make good employees in the C-Suite ... The iris pro 5200 (2013) wasn't improved upon until 2020 !

This is new to me, what is this referring to?
This is probably wrong. The 10 nm problems were due to Intel being too ambitious, not "resting".
Thanks for making me feel old :-)
There was a palpable change when Andy Grove retired. It was like the elves leaving Middle earth.
