Intel Sees Irrelevance in Its Future, Turns to Legal Threats Instead of Technology

I bet GPU based processing is going to skyrocket... maybe ARM will first spike a bit, but after that my money is on NVidia (or at least that style of processing units).
GPU has been in the lead for a long time. The issue is that GPU's aren't designed (meant) for CPU tasks.

I'm talking AI/machine learning, data mining, business intelligence, and predictive analytics. That stuff is getting a lot bigger fast.

Did they not fold badly years ago? They seemed to back out of the game and ceed a lot to Intel.
Really I dont see that, there plans of ARM server processors seem very short-lived, the only thing that will seem to continue with ARM is the co-security processor they integrate with their x86-x64 CPUs, but thats it. I think its cortex a5 they integrate in each CPU as well.
AMD's Opteron family is based around ARM now. AMD is all in on ARM.

... like AMD Ryzen is on par with intel performance but cheaper, and that is what after 5 years of AMD catching up.
Which was after eight years of Intel catching up
They go back and forth, AMD has been the overall leader for the last ~15 years. Intel just had a brief period in the spotlight again. Their last big win was the Pentium IIIS which did not last long before AMD crushed it.AMD's ARM play is for the datacenter, though, not for the desktop. Their ARM Opterons are not intended for end user usage but for big servers.

I disagree with you on this one, they will not make it. and I really think that they U turned to AMD zen server chips.
Who needs an Cortex a57 server CPU ? it is sooo 2013 ...

I think you are a bit late on that prediction. They've been available on the market for some time.

One could say the same thing about the AMD64 family.
