Trained and mentored by Andy Grove. Disciple of the old school "Only the paranoid survive". I expect nothing less.
I hope someday he could do the next unthinkable, Once their foundry could at least compete against Samsung, open up the x86 ISA. Or clean up the ISA and call it something like AE86. In the very long term, x86 is pretty much dead. By 2030 you would expect all hyperscaler to be on ARM with x86 serving some minor legacy clients. You have PC manufacture eager to compete with Apple and ChromeBook. So x86 could loss up to 50% of its current volume by 2030. Then a long tail of 10 - 15 years decline.
