(1) When you say "software moat", are you referring to its previously captive Windows market? Though Qualcomm has been trying to penetrate this space, it looks like Intel and AMD have been able to keep them at bay.
(2) Do you see any moats threatened in the server market? Especially with regard to Gravitron, the new rumor of Microsoft/Azure venturing out to make their own server CPUs, etc.
(3) Which pipeline Intel products can possibly correct things? And why might they fail?

Guess the key questions are:
(1) How many specialized high performance products do they need to
develop to overcome possible commoditization and lower prices for
laptop, desktop and even some server market CPUs?
(2) How much commoditization and lower prices can we expect - 10%, 25%,
40%, 50%...?
(3) Does Intel have a pipeline of products to make up for (2) above?

AMD has run up so much, my guess is that this impact may continue for some time till it comes back to realistic levels.

Guess Intel needs someone who has both the vision to overcome the "thousand cuts" and the ability to execute the vision. Dr. Lisa Su has proved her mettle at AMD overcoming huge obstacles over the last few years, perhaps she can be enticed to do the same at Intel. :)
