Please Dont. They have plenty of cash, still the lead in IPC, (for now), Marketing Power to defend their position, long term contract and business relationship in Sever Market, and incentives to partners should AMD inches closer.

For the first time Intel's new CFO finally admitted their 10nm wont be as profitable. But that doesn't mean they are not profitable as some media is trying to spin it.

They expect WillowCove to be ~15% faster than their Icelake, speeding up ( cough ) their 7nm introduction in 2021. ( That is marketing speak for higher 7nm product volume launch ) and moving to 5nm GAA in ( late ) 2023, roughly a year earlier than TSMC 2nm GAA.

Their 14nm+++ is the 2nd highest performance node to date ( I think highest performance honour goes to GF with their IBM / 14nm node ), and plenty of capacity coming up shortly.

So while they may not be in node's leadership and likely wont regain that anytime soon. They are definitely capable to compete. If anything I felt sorry for AMD not getting higher Server Market Shares and higher Profits / Revenue. They have been working so hard and deserve a lot more.
