It'll help for sure
I almost feel bad for Intel. They gave us perfectly fine CPUs that lasted for years without needing upgrading, and nowhere to go from there in a world that demands infinite exponential growth.
they didnt need upgrading because they sat mostly still till amd caught up.
they intentionally made the consumer platform stay with quad cores for over 8 generations till AMD came around with Ryzen Gen 1 to be remotely competitive.
theres a reason why 5% per generation was a joke for almost a decade.
This, but I'll also never feel sorry for them because of the way they previously intentionally nerfed AMD's processor performance in applications using their compiler (i.e. a lot of big applications at the time) by checking if the the CPU was made by Intel and disabling optimizations if it wasn't.
That was some serious monopolistic, anti-competitive bullshit.
"Just one more round of layoffs bro, it'll work this time I swear!"
