"The time of 'Ever faster, smaller, and cheaper' seems gone; 'smaller' still is there, but costs don't go down as fast as they used to, or maybe not at all anymore.
That may not hurt the server market that Intel owns, but it will hurt the consumer market, where they make lots of money, too. That can become problematic for all chip producers.
However, if Intel manages to be the only one able to produce the smallest physically possible transistors, they may still win"
