I'm hard pressed to come up one that is persistent and relevant.
- Innovation on the full custom CISC, high power x86 IP domain? (weak persistent and becoming irrelevant -- ARM is disrupting for all directions ).
- Leadership process development? ( lost position, spotty execution and less relevant when many core ARM can beat highly complex CISC)
- Higher quality designs? Manufacturing? ( Not really).
- Low cost manufacturer (No).
- Best talent? (No).
- Best Bloviators? (Yes, but irrelevant).
- Best DEI program? ( huge investment here, but arguably detracting from innovation and success. Tribalism, lack of meritocracy are negative side effects nobody acknowledges).
- Ability to identify new silicon based businesses, persist and win share e.g. Graphics. (No, in fact this has resulted in $Bs in losses. )
