Cringe-worthy.
Apple to do the "I'm a Mac" to MS made sense, as the companies compete in several ways, and MS had 98% of the PC market (and still has over 90% of it).
Now, for MS to re-do "I'm a Mac" style ads targetting Apple, that would make some sense, as the companies compete in the OS/laptop space (with Surface etc).
But for Intel - a CPU maker that doesn't compete with Apple directly - to be doing it, targeting a company like Apple that only has 10% or less market share, and at this particular time, shows they're scared of the Apple Silicon.
