18 Core Intel Processor in 2015

 

Intel has been in the lead for longer than I can remember, I think it was back in 2006 that AMD could compete core-for-core with Intel. In this type of market there is no need for Intel to really push the boundaries and give us the same type of performance increase per-generation as we saw from the Pentium-D to Core 2 Duo.
