How many feet does Intel actually have? It seems as if they have shot themselves in 4 or 5 - is it any wonder they can hardly walk?

They have also made a lot of successful products and come backs. While the Pentium 4 lost out to the Athlon's and their marketshare dropped they then released the Core series of CPUs and the Core 2 Duo was a huge hit and marked the beginning of the dark ages for AMD until they released Ryzen.

As a company they have had long periods of dominance potted with big losses to AMD on the CPU front which they always claw back. They seem this time to be taken out by their inability to get their fabs online more than anything their competitor is doing.

I might be misremembering, but the initial core series (core 2 duo/quad) was still a bit behind AMD's Phenom line. Core was definitely better than the old netburst architecture, but I don't really remember Intel regaining dominance until the core i series/AMD FX.

This was also like high school/college for me, so I could be way off.
