No one could have ever guessed resting on your laurels and price gouging customers because you were the only game in town would ever come back to bite them. /s

Isn’t this how every business works? If there is no competition, and if there are people willing to pay for the price they set, how is that a fault of the business?

That said, I think Intel has a long history of anti-competitive behavior and we need law makers with a spine to address and punish this type of behavior.

Not every. Some continue to invest and innovate. Although this is harder as a public company who is pushing for profits over long term strength.

In normal business you don't have a monopoly. If you're expensive you will receive competition eventually

I don't think anyone at Intel has been patting themselves on the back for their 10nm failure. This wasn't their plan - cannon lake was supposed to be released in 2016, but now they'll maybe have volume production by the end of this year.

Intel lowering their prices in response to increased pressure from AMD is capitalism, yes
