That "if" of yours is decided by the consumers not Intel itself. Intel can only do the pricing (and other stuffs..) it's up to the buyer/people who decide what they want to do with their money, and if the general public decided/prefer Intel over AMD processor, then so be it. If Amd want to blame someone then maybe they should blame themselves for not being innovative enough to outperform Intel.

If Intel does become monopoly and sky rocket the price on their processors--if they do that, they basically just shot them self in the foot! If no one buy their product then it's theirs lost. Anyway, that's not likely going to happen and the government is here for a reason you know.

By the way, Amd doesn't manufacture their processor; the majority of their manufactured CPUs comes from IBM. I wouldn't be surprise if IBM take over Amd
