Well, I meant the turning point where Intels dominance is going away.I hope you mean turning point in the good way. I dunno, they should announce something revolutionary.
Like, "we have a real, silicon quantum computer, not the limited quantum annealing thing from DWave" sort of revolutionary. Or some kind of NVM with unlimited endurance and speed like SRAM and NAND density and cost. Or on chip silicon photonics. Or III-V and Ge with Quantum Wells and with secret EUV ("haha we were actually joking about EUV for 7nm, we actually DID something with the 5B we invested in ASML") and 450mm ("yeah, that's why we were spending so many billions of Capex for many years"). Or a new architecture, like that hyped RISC thing ("you thought we delayed 10nm, but that was actually to pull in EUV and 450mm, but as compensation we've got something totally uninteresting: Kabylake with twice the IPC, and double the frequency at 10nm"). Or heck, even near threshold voltage computing. Or a neural chip like IBMs TrueNorth. Or 3D logic.
Guess reality won't be that spectacular (cf. Larrabee) and the lack of revenue growth will just let other companies like TSMC catch up while they reap the benefits of the mobile industry's money.
Not because I dislike Intel but because of the reasons you mention. I want something new to happen. There are so many possibilities other than silicon semiconductors.
But Intel today is too comfortable just cashing in...
