I'd believe this if I hadn't seen Intel pull a magic bunny out of the hat every 5 years for the last 30+ years, and totally decimate the competition.

I've spent my computer hobbyist life betting against Intel and losing -- 6502, 68000, PowerPC.

Well, on the mobile market Intel can't sell a chip if they staple money to it. So its not like Intel can just win everything all the time.

I don't think RISC-V will beat Intel on servers any time soon, I just hope it will establish itself in the market, get a foothold and then hope it openness will help it to grow.
