This is only good. Everyone is arguing here about stuff that really does not matter if this move the needle forward.
x64 by AMD pushed Intel to do better. Things became faster / cheaper. AMD fell behind and Intel rested and priced for high end went up. AMD released Ryzen and all of the sudden we see movement from Intel again. ARM on the low end pushed Intel to look at their lower powered chips and try to do better. IBM pushing P9 to win at the top at a reason price point pushed on AMD and Intel. Competition is only good here and brings value to all of us.
