Apparently, Intel has years of runway vs AMD. The chips are literally designed and sitting there, only to be released if AMD comes up with something. Intel isn't scrambling in any sense, just announcing stuff that is already designed and built. All AMD was force Intel to release it earlier than their monopoly position was allowing.

The down vote behavior is interesting. I simply mention that Intel has an early release of a previously constructed part. Monopolies behave in predictable ways.
