Intel’s top chip engineers gave a rare briefing on Tuesday about the company’s approach to designing its family of chips under the banner of Intel architecture, and they promised that good things are coming despite some well-publicized setbacks.

This has held up its efforts to compete with rival Advanced Micro Devices, which has enjoyed a historic period of growth in the past three years.
