Can Intel recover even part of their past dominance?

you dont recover glory. The gain new glory.

Intel was a dominant execution engine in the past with no competitor who could succeed. those days are gone.

yes the brand gives them an advantage.... but that brand has new characteristics now.

just an opinion.
 
Intel is still dominant in business computers. I suspect this is due to decades of contracts embedding them into long term work; however, that wont last forever.

Intel's issue is going to continue to be cost and profit. It doesn't do much good to have the majority of the market share if you are bleeding money to do it.

AMD seems content (at present) to continue the march to gobble up as much of a % of the really profitable segments (DC, HEDT) as they can before putting the full court press on OEM (where they will be forced to sell at a much lower margin).

For Intel to return to its days of glory, it must find a way to make a profit. Every layoff depletes Intel's future ability to dominate.

I personally believe that they will need to re-focus their efforts on design and spin off the foundry. Intel can't survive on their own chips alone in foundry. The equipment has gotten too expensive.

You know that Foundry is what's keeping them market share and IFS alone is not the only problem design is as well and AMD is benifiting off of Intel's Software Efforts.
AMD is still getting freebie from Intel they are not contributing meaningful to x86.
