Video speaks for itself tbh.

A classic Adored video very nice. I knew most of it. It's just very sad like adored said how much the whole system failed to protect us. This peace of shit company literally dictated the future that we live now. 4c 8t consumer cpu's in the year 2017. This just doesn't sound right not to mention illogical.
PS: Guess what cpu i am buying in a few months.

You're totally getting an ARM! 
My uncle works for Intel. So far he has survived 3 or 4 years of layoffs. I can't believe he is still in the business.
and yet many people wont care and will buy a skylake-x cpu simply because... reasons
I knew most of it as well, some bits where new to me though.
Video's like this really do make me worry about intels support /backing for lower level api's.. as essentially they level the playing field by making ipc irrelevant in most cases (doom being the best case example of that so far).
When intel had atom on their roadmap it made business sense for them to support the lower level api's... to try and squeeze as much as they could out of them.. but with that gone it just doesn't make business sense for them to support something that gives away their ipc 'edge'
Not sure what tricks they could perform around them but then again, I am not as crafty as them.
It could just be a case that the genie is out of the bottle now, and they have to swallow that pill and make it work to the best of their ability.. but I am still expecting a fast one somewhere.. maybe compiler related tomfoolery again 
OR something similar to gameworks where intel offer up libraries of black box code for dx12 and vulcan 'heavy lifting' and pay devs to use it.
The fun part of the current story is Intel does not make their money from consumers anymore, the money is in the server cloud infrastructure space. So server farms, and guess what, they run opensource, free software on their machines, no need for vulcan or dx12. Machine learning, again not cpu or even x86 based, as far as I know, it can be done on an arm with a few gpu’s. Nvidia is making a killing selling products to car makers for autonomous driving, Intel has nothing and no leverage. So Intel can go to the server farms and give their product away via Dell and HP, but as the market shakes out over the next 5 years, nVidia and AMD are going to be at the fore front of AI and Machine Learning with the architectures they started creating 4 years ago.
Basically, Intel has had its run of monopoly, and now if the market continues to shift to high core count, high bandwidth, small and stable latency, they are in a rather bad market position as we see from what appears to be utter panic from Intel, while AMD continues to execute a product line up that will be relevant and viable 5 years from now for half the freakin price.
