I think this has been oncoming for a while. While Intel has been doing the Tick-Tock march for a while they have also been bringing in new concepts to get avoid hitting a wall with the architecture.
First it was single to dual to multi-core. Next was pulling devices into the die. HBM slated to come into the die. Where do you go from there if physics is fighting you at ≤10nm? I think we're looking at a repeat of 2003, AMD is about to start eating their lunch for a while. Just one guy's opinion, and you know what they say about opinions...
