It’s a classic innovator’s dilemma- they can continue milking the x86 or reinvent the company but not both at the same time.

For 20 years they could have afforded to. Now it may be too late. If they try I don’t think the market would punish them for it.
And in fact they are famous for killing their cash cow (memory) and focusing on the new thing (microprocessors) in the 80s under Grove. They have fallen far.
Other big companies, like Google, have this problem and haven’t made efforts to address it.
