As a former Intel employee (1982-2000) I can't remember many times Intel attacked a segment and failed. They had several products that failed of course (Itanium, i860, i432, etc.)

The closest I remember was printers where i960 was the vector. No where near the magnitude of phone volumes. There may have been automotive things that I wasn't aware of that failed. 8096 never really got traction.

The flop in cell phones takes the cake. Probably will be the subject of an MBA case study someday.

BTW, I remember Sean Maloney warning everyone long ago that "mobile" was a big issue. He made a big deal of it at the Sales and Application conference one year. Also at SLRP in the mid 90s. I don't think he was taken seriously enough. This was long before Apple and iPhone.
