Intel and AMD are joining forces to establish a new advisory group with the goal of enhancing and better unifying the x86 ecosystem. In other words, the fightback against Arm intensifies.
Intel and AMD share access to the x86 instruction set architecture (ISA), first introduced with the 8086 in the late '70s. By hook or by crook, AMD secured a licence to make compatible chips and these two companies have been competing ever since. They've not always got along, either, but you don't need me to tell you that.
