There might be a danger that Moore's Law doesn't continue of Intel finally succeeds in thoroughly trouncing AMD, and competition plays a diminished factor in driving their R&D cycle. Even before Moore's Law and the Law of Accelerating Returns was codified, it has been statistically true, so if Intel fails to perform by that standard, someone else will.

If the world turn in this direction this means that Intel will be at risk. What about other processor companies? I am often confused by what Intel is doing with respect to the future of Moore’s Law?
