Is there like a book or podcast on Intel’s downfall? As a 90s kid it seems unthinkable to me Intel would be dethroned so swiftly.

Chip War by Chris Miller is a great read, although not specifically Intel.

As another 90s kid feels like there is some lesson here on how few things last forever
I think it's a good example of why monopolies and vendor lock-ins are bad. Essentially when there IS choice, people will go to the better option, and the market leader, if they don't keep pace, people will move if they can.
It's when there is a huge exit barrier that companies get away with all sorts of garbage.
Microsoft is doing just fine, for now... maybe Copilot will be the beginning of the end for them.
Stratechery does an OUTSTANDING job covering Intel, TSMC, and chips.
