I just fail to see how Intel are so happy about this when it *appears* to make them fall further behind...

Hilarious how they still talk about x86. Still too painful that it was AMD who created x64.

They use the term x86 because x64 is an extended architecture instruction set that sits atop x86 so everything in use in that family of modern processors uses x86 as its baseline.

You don't see AMD calling it x64.

And I was reading this thinking it meant they were actually starting production. So basically they have finalised a design..... they've finalised a few designs only to have to switch them onto different processes and make a total hash of the whole thing.

If I were an Intel employee who had put blood sweat and tears into that design I'd be fuming.

Oh, and that silly press screenshot from a Zoom meeting is just... cringeworthy.

Oh, and also that chap in the bottom photo looks like a doctor telling you about your incurable cancer.
