More competition on the Server front:

Qualcomm sampling world’s first 10nm 48 core server SoC
...Developed from the ground up, based on Qualcomm in house developed Falkor 10nm CPU, the new Centriq 2400 series started shipping to major customers and it is expected to be commercially available in the second half of 2017...
According to today's articles, Intel has 97 percent of the server market. Both AMD next-generation server chips and, now, Qualcomm server chips will hit the market later next year.
The articles imply Intel prices have been high due to virtually no competition. That may change, the articles speculate. Of course, Qualcomm also gives AMD another server competitor besides Intel.
