That could have been a good thing for Intel. The fish rots from the top for a couple of years already.
Not for 2020-2025 intel. For reference, Satya Nadella became Microsoft's CEO in 2013.

Even worse - the same architecture as well, which is why they have to backport their 10nm Ice Lake architecture to 14nm to even get anywhere.
Skylake was the "tick", then they couldn't "Tock" to 10nm, so they made 14nm+, then 14nm++, then 14nm+++... Intel's been stuck on the same process for half a decade now.
