Lets speed run a doomsday:

2022: share price tanks, ceo booted, they shuffle but dont have a plan, no longer blue chip so finance is hard to come by. delisting. everyone booted. doors close.

2023/4: AMD only game in town. profits and volumes up. so are the faults and vulnerabilities. They spend most of their effort in fixes and not innovation.

2024: M1 chip available on dells/hps/thinkpads. AWS only use Graviton unless customer specifically buys another chip.

2025: Desktop ARM chip available on dells/hps/thinkpads. 2025: AWS makes a 'compile-to-anything' service. decompiler and recompiler on demand.

2026: AMD still suffering. Hires Jim Keller for the 20th time. makes a new ZEN generation that beats M1 and Arm. AMD goes into mobile CPUs.
