So maybe 50/50 that the top of the pyramid doesnt just take the free printed money and keep running the company into the ground.

If they pass that hurdle, its more like 70/30 Dump says put backdoors into all processors, and says it loud and proud. Assuming intel is smart enough to be able to fuse that functionality out entirely (not that anyone would believe they disabled the functionality)... That leaves somewhere about 15% chance that Intel survives 5 more years
