Intel is not fine on servers - ARM servers are about 20% faster for outright performance and 40% faster for performance-per-dollar. Since it’s literally just selecting a different option in a dropdown menu (assuming your software runs well on ARM, which it probably does these days), why would anyone choose Intel on a server?
And they’re not fine no a laptops either - unplugged my ARM Mac from the charger seven hours ago… and I’m at 80% charge right now. Try that with an Intel laptop with an i9 Processor and a discrete NVIDIA GPU (those two would be needed to have similar performance).
They’re only really doing well on desktop PCs, which is a small market, and people who can’t be bothered changing to a new architecture — a big market but one that is going away.
Intel is fine. The fact that they are somewhat competetive on their dinosaur fabrication node is crazy by itsself.

When you say 20% faster - per what metric? Is that per watt power consumption, per dollar cost?
If it’s per either of those, that’s pretty impressive, it’s a massive difference.
