Current execution stumbles do not diminish historical triumphs -- Pentium II and Nehalem were and are amazing.
Not for those who have "$THING was never good" mindset after repeated, multiple stumbles in a row. You see this with anything that closed/died in disgrace.
I imagine there are people out there who think that Intel might file for bankruptcy/insolvency if they can't right themselves from this issue.
Intel, in the past 20 years, has floundered and misfired constantly. It's not a stretch to assert the only reason Intel is still around is due to their illegal business practices in the early and mid 2000's. Intel became synonymous with CPU's because they were literally (and illegally) the only option for 99% of the computer buying market.
Intel didn't invent/discover FinFET, nor were they the first to commercialize it.

>> Commercially produced chips at 22 nm and below have generally utilised FinFET gate designs (but planar processes do exist down to 18 nm, with 12 nm in development). Intel's tri-gate variant were announced at 22 nm in 2011 for its Ivy Bridge microarchitecture.[30] These devices shipped from 2012 onwards. From 2014 onwards, at 14 nm (or 16 nm) major foundries (TSMC, Samsung, GlobalFoundries) utilised FinFET designs.
Even if we examine Intel's Tri-gate Transistor contribution to existing FinFET technology, we can see even there it was not an Intel invention/discovery.
Crazy remembering a time when there was that much 16-bit code in the wild.
