Intel can't respond to this. They proved that by having to cut their prices in half to try and keep some market share.
IMHO what Intel should be doing is "going dark" and by that i don't mean vanishing from the face of the earth but rather not doing much publicly outside of essentials such as maintaining a good customer service team and a social media presence for any questions that arise there. Outside of that they should keep their heads down and get to work for the next few years to try and come up with something. We all know they can do it and have the money to do it but they need to stop doing this disastrous damage control, accept the loss and get on with it.
Maybe they should even skip a launch year or two because all i see them doing is re launching the same chips again that will just further annoy their loyal customers.
i would absolutely love to see IBM come into the mainstream cpu game. That would be ace...

@amigafan2003 i am curious; what do you do with your system that requires such a beast of a cpu? And was their a reason outside of the eye watering cost that you decided not to go with the 32core?
