How much monopoly does Intel have on processor manufacturing?

Intel has a monopoly on the 64 bit design it licenses from AMD, although it improves.

AMD basically sucks at making PC's and chips.

So what differentiates AMD from Intel is a philosophical contrast.

AMD trusts in progressively (exclusively shittier) centers - > more parallelization - > more speed. Downside is more power utilization rapidly and a few projects have not executed proficient approaches to utilize various centers yet.
Since power usage is raised, AMD CPUs are commonly not a decent decision on PCs. Remember a few people couldn't care less about power usage. Maybe an organization knows it will grow low dormancy code to exploit various centers and hence higher speeds. AMD would be a considerably more alluring decision to these individuals.
