Yeah, that's what we want to continue, but if they don't have competition they have no reason to give us their best.
True, the more competition the better for us.
Intel don’t have any competition. Intel is still over 65% of the CPU market and 90% of graphics.

Substantially misleading when talking about competition in graphics.
Intel dominates the semiconductor market through sheer volume. There is nothing misleading here. The situation is what is and will likely always be this way.
90% of graphics is what you chose to go with as a measure of how competitive they are.
A number which is almost completely the copy pasted basic IGP that's stuffed into every Intel CPU and saves buying a graphics card when you only want the computer to do word processing and run videos.
If someone took you at face value they would be grossly misled.
It used to be 90% in the CPU market. Hopefully they put out something that can compete with the latest AMD chips so we get a good old fashioned price war.
Another price war! Intel needs to prop up its share price as it’s still very volatile. The desktop market is pretty irrelevant to Intel as it’s the notebook/enterprise where Intel makes serious money. The challenge for desktop segment is Intel needs a ground up new architecture and that’s going to be cost serious money to compete in a tiny market.
