honestly it's 100% AMD that's going to turn this around for intel. AMD has stopped selling mid-market & down-market. their new affordable 5300G chip is unpurchaseable. their gpus are unobtainable in extreme, or radically overpriced.
amd still has a good presence in affordable, good performing latpops. but that's it. everywhere else, they're basically only courting the high end. they got better & immediately stopped trying to serve the mainstream markets.
for example, go try to buy a business class small PC. there was a brief second where one could buy a 1L sized Lenovo with a 4850ge chip, and it was awesome, way better than intel. but AMD very very very quickly withdrew from price-competitive markets.
