No, Intel is not mid-cycle; they are still selling 2015 tech because they have failed to deliver on their roadmap for the last four years. In theory it's possible that they could have a great leap forward and catch up but it's more likely that it will take 3-4 more years to dig out of the hole.

I agree with this. About eight years ago, when AMD premiered their "bulldozer" architecture, it was clear that even their best technology was years behind Intel.

Now the situation has flipped, and Intel is years behind.

Reminds me of Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon/ Optra times of ~2006
