Everyone's blaming AMD when Intel clearly stated that this is as a result of "slow-down in demand." A slow-down that applies to all x86 processor manufacturers for laptops/desktops/tablets, which I don' tthink necessarily has anything to do with performance.
...and everyone's blaming AMD.

Where is ARM in this?
AMD is a significant factor in this. Yes, Intel is slowing down the introduction of 14nm because since the demand isn't high enough for them to follow their initial roadmap they would cannibalize their 22nm products if they went ahead as scheduled. However, that line of thinking is only valid if their 22nm products are dominating the market, which is the case. If AMD came out with a processor lineup that took away a significant percentage of Intel's sales, then they would have to release their 12nm products asap in order to gain back market share.
Demand is only half the story when it comes to deciding when to release a new product. Competition is the other half, which is why AMD's ineptitude is significant.
