David, either you work for Intel or you’re wearing blinders. x86 is a wasteful architecture and the needless energy consumption is problematic for large data centres. A better answer is needed, and it may not come from Intel.

Forget it. TI is way too late and its chip badly lag. There is a lot of noise, by all sorts of players, but at the end of the day, Intel will be the winner. X86 everywhere will win.
