Part of the reason Intel is VERY worried, is because in the past they could fight competition (such as AMD, Cyrix), by winning sales from other companies who desperately needed the funds to pay the sky high development cost for making future X86 compatible processors.
But much of thier (Intel) competition, has irons in numerous markets.
E.g. Samsung.
I'm going to wash my clothes in my Samsung washer/drier, take food from my Samsung fridge/freezer, let my Samsung Microwave cook it (or perhaps use the full size Samsung oven).
While I wait, I'll watch my Samsung LCD TV, or record it for later, Samsung DVR. Or use my giant Samsung projector screen.
No, lets vacuum with my Samsung cleaner, or use my Samsung printer.
Let's stay away from Samsung, and fix an Apple something (wait, what's inside , Samsung (at the moment!, later not Samsung)).
Am I typing this on my Samsung phone or tablet ? or using a PC with Samsung memory.
I don't necessarily have any of the above, but I think you get the picture (if LCD (panel), it has a high chance of being made by Samsung).
EDIT: I left out cameras, other chips, processors, flash, camcorders, and probably tons of other stuff. If Samsung think they can make significant amounts of money in the cpu market, they probably have the industrial PUNCH (resources, money, market contacts, experience, manufacturing etc) to make it happen.
In all fairness, Intel does make cpu's with a huge variety of different numbers.
