AMD has more clout than they had back in the old days. Their x86-64 architecture has become the de-facto standard where Intel's IA-64 architecture got officially dropped in 2010 by Microsoft and after that it was all over for the "Itanium" pipe dream.
Intel wasted a lot of time and money on that processor trying to break the x86 mold, and that's when AMD caught up with them.
