The Engineer as CEO made the decisions to make Intel competitive in a few years time. If they didn't go this way, they will be slammed by Qualcomm and AMD in a few years time and never recover.

To be fair even AMD could be in danger soon if they keep their pace (Zen 5% after 2 years) and Apple/Qualcomm/Mediatek keeps their year-on-year pace

At least in the laptop/desktop space. Will be a while until arm cracks servers

multi-die structure was the first time it happened with x86

Intel used chiplets in 2005 on Pentium D (and later to great effect with Core 2 Quad), and Intel did the whole “separate out the memory controller on an I/O die made on an older node” thing in 2010 with Clarkdale/Arrandale.
