I think I got this from the HN mythology, but it was a story about a consultant who was just one in a long string of consultants that all said the same thing.

Intel strikes me as a company that basically needs a chorus of folks to sing to them, "change your tune, you know what to dooooo"

Whatever beef Jim had, they should probably just fix that. Intel is just a really fancy machine shop with a small design firm on the side that has the blue prints for something that lots of people want. Until they don't.

Open your fabs, open your engineering services and you will be the largest force in semiconductors. Hell, even if Intel's designs were 100% open source, they could still smoke.
