Intel dropped the ball when they gave up the xScale ARM line
to focus on x86 architecture from Pentium to Atom to Quark.

Intel is trying to force themselves into the embedded market
with the Galileo Arduino-like platform with the Quark Chip,
and the Edison SoC (system on chip).
But I see nobody really adopting that despite
familiarity and comfort with the x86 architecture.

Intel does not seem to collaborate with others.
All the other chip makers collaborate or are consortiums,
particularly ARM since it's fabless: the core is licensed to others.

The latest Intel show-n-tell I attended seemed rather arrogant:
they want the entire vertical market from embedded portable device
to router to server and everything in between.
No need to play nice with others.
