Intel at a low point right now.
New AMD chips dropping this month while some of their flagship processors are in need of a recall. Plus this news.
Luckly for them they run the commercial sector.

. They probably getting ahead of it.
all that money and they got finessed...
This is the result of a company operating for many years with no major competition. They was putting out rebridged Skylake processors for multiple generations. At some point if there isn't real competition a business will stagnant and when disruption finally comes you get this. It's not in a business nature to do any more than they have to and the absence of competition means eventually they do the bare minimum.
This company is dying slowly. They’ll be the next Xerox or Kodak if they keep it up.

Intel will cancel 14A and following nodes if it can't win a major external customer — move would cede leading-edge nodes to TSMC and Samsung
Then exit the leading-edge process technologies completely.

Sounds like Intel’s done

Might? It IS bad for PC gaming. Intel got complacent and never took AMD seriously. AMD fukked up with the FX series of processors -- decent performance but power hungry and struggled with certain tasks. But that failure caused them to develop Ryzen. Intel needs to do something similar. Expeditiously.
Random aside: AMD needs to seriously get their graphics card division in order and complete with the complete stack of graphics cards Nvidia makes on price AND performance.
I don't think it's worth AMD's time to try and compete on PC graphics cards. The customers just aren't there anymore. They have the console market anyway.

Eh...its much needed though. LOTS of companies would love a second option if not to keep Nvidia pricing in check to an extent.

What’s to stop the chip-making giant from shoveling taxpayer grants into more stock buybacks?

This is what happens when you focus on stock price over innovation and reinvestment in your company.
With the direction things have gone with fake frames Nvidia is just the overwhelming leader and nobody has a solution to it. AMD basically walked away from the high end market because the customers weren't there.
Unless someone comes along like AMD did to Intel in the processor market and suddenly develops a product that goes blow for blow if not better Nvidia will just rule. Nvidia is taking on Intel like tendencies like how the 4000 series and the 5000 series aren't even really that far apart.
