How is Intel dying? Losing a near monopoly is a far cry from dying.
And Amazon's Graviton/armv8 chips aren't going to be competitive for many workloads. If you look up benchmarks you'll see they generally aren't competitive in terms of performance[1].
They'll only be competitive in terms of cost (and, generally, not even performance/cost).
I'm personally pleased that there is more competition but I find that saying Intel is dying to be silly.
