I checked Intels roadmap and it looks promising. They seem to aim for parity with TSMC before 2025. It’s going to be interesting if they win some of Apple’s business and make ARM chips for them.
I'd rather be able to run the OS I want with the software I want than the crap Apple wants me to run with them calling all the shots. Apple silicon could be literally twice as fast and I wouldn't care. I'm not that impatient and freedom is IMO more important than speed.
Historically speaking, Intel's roadmaps have always looked quite promising. However, they're also known for not really delivering on them. I seriously doubt they can catch up to TSMC by 2025 (if ever).
Apple M1 and Intel have continued to do well, because it was silicon you could actually get for the last two years.
Mid to long term: they can't compete on absolute performance or price when their transistors are a lot larger than TSMC's. Imagine AMD at 2nm by 2025 and Intel still stuck at 10nm++ whatever.
The high end semiconductor industry is a winer takes it all game.
