I think it's shorter to name the things Intel did strike gold on than the boats they missed despite all kinda of advantages.
They missed the entire mobile market processor explosion, inevitable as it was since 2009 with Android launch(or 2007 if you want to say they should have seen what Apple was doing and thought they could compete, which if you're an exec at Intel you should have).
They missed cloud computing.
Classic "big company hires/keeps overpaid check drawers instead of those with finger on the pulse". Intel deserves the very little innovation, success and relevancy theyve had post 86.
Bought my first AMD computer this year, an and 6800 Ryzen 7 with an on proc 680m gpu that is equivalent of ~ Nvidia 2050 discrete card. Game over for Intel.
Intel's mobile on proc gpu does beat AMDs, though.
Not really. It did for one generation, against AMD's ancient Vega iGPU, if you ignore that ~30% of games were buggy or straight up don't even work on Intel iGPUs.
Apparently latest Arc iGPUs are quite competitive.

Meteor lake isn't even out yet, so I wasn't counting that. By the time it comes out, the 7840U will be 9 months old and about to be replaced.
Plus tbh I'm hesitant believing Intel benchmarks. In the past I've seen them do things like using much higher memory speeds for their own chips, which for an iGPU is critical.
