Intel can’t grow profits in a global chip shortage

I don't think the average user or custom cares all that much about what node they are actually on. Yes, of course battery life and efficiency matters. But if Intel can make some decent incremental improvements I just don't see them completely going away.

AMD and Intel have been trading the throne for years and every single time everyone says one of them is about to die. Yet here we are.

Via still exists and they never had the throne so I don't think either AMD or Intel are likely to die any time soon. The more interesting bet is if either will still be valued at ~$200 billion in 5 years or if these recent performance challengers end up making a large portion of the existing revenue generating x86 products look like Via CPUs did before they manage to get stronger grips into other product markets like GPUs and networking.
