How bad will it get?

Long since departed from Intel and was in marketing. In 2006, marketing took a ~50% cut in many groups under similar business conditions. People still around from that time may remember it was called SET.
This article shows how the cycle is repeating itself with similar issues (fall behind on tech, AMD (and now others) competition, etc.)

Good luck to all.
It just depends on the marketing group. If you are in a non-revenue generating or non-customer facing capacity, you team could be reduced by 50% or more. This makes up for fewer cuts in revenue and customer facing marketing jobs... but still get to 20% overall. BTW, generally, nothing is "fair" about he process... if your number is up, it's up (unless there's a legit complaint or law being broken).
I’m in marketing - it’s pretty brutal - hearing some teams 20%+ they are at the ‘names on spreadsheets’ stage … hang in there !
Marketing's contribution has been renaming Intel's lagging process node with misleading numbers. As for sales ? What sales ?
Folks in sales and Marketing don't do jack to justify their high pay. Better them than the engineers who actually produce product. With even a 50% cut in sales/ marketing there will still be plenty of people.
I know we'll get hit for sure, but will it really be as bad as some are saying?
