>What the fuck happened? Why can't Intel compete?
they don't need to, AMD wasn't competitive for about 8 years until 2017 when ryzen happened. AMD could literally be handing out memezen CPUs for free and Intel will still be selling thanks to brand recognition.
8 Years from now? if intel stays behind R+D wise, they're absolutely out of the game, but for now they're good delivering literal joke CPUs as long as performance stays in the competitive range when compared to AMD. They already lost the "fastest CPU" zone, being forced to add the "gaming" adjetive in order to sell that 9900k literal housefire, and it worked so well for them they almost doubled the price.
Yea, intel is alright for now. If AMD survived so long delivering literal shit before Ryzen, intel can survive for many years being number 2.
