Hey,
So Intel recently launched their 10nm products in the market(which too faced ALOT of delays.) however the company recently in their 2020 Q2 Earning release stated that their roadmap for their 7nm chips will face another delay of six months bringing it from a release of Fall 2021 to Early 2022 or late 2022. This is ofcourse a major setback for Intel as their competitor in the CPU Market, Ryzen(by AMD) is already on 7nm and offers better price to performance ratio and has pushed Intel out of its monopoly of CPUs and has forced them to decrease prices of their products to match AMD's offerings.
This announcement (made by Intel's CEO Bob Swan) was ofcourse a major hit to the company economically too as the company plunged 18% after the announcement.
Personally, I think Intel is not as competitive as it was 10 years ago, and while they were on the lead, they were too busy singing their glory while the competitor catched up, and now they're in a very desperate situation. On the other hand Ryzen offers better bang for the buck, better upgrade-ability in the future(As Ryzen 1st -> Ryzen 4th Gen uses the same AM4 Socket), more security (I'm sure you've all heard of Meltdown & Spectre).
My System has always been Intel but if this continues my next choice would obviously be Ryzen.
Let me know what u guys think about this.
