It's not just performance, though. It's also trust. If performance per watt was all that mattered, AMD would have cornered the server market years ago. Intel held on because they were considered rock solid stable--very important in a server. That trust was completely broken by the recent instability issues.
Spectre and meltdown mean nothing to you, do they?
I didn't think the consumer-level chip immolation carried over to their xeons?
If it did, holy crap, they're mega-ultra-turbo-plaid levels of screwed.
Not quite that, but more that the entire thing brings into question Intel's competence.
