It's been quite a while since I was at AMD, but I see a real culture clash if they tried that.

Plus, Intel's anti-competitive behavior is a HUGE reason that AMD has never been acquired. The industry desperately wants Intel to have effective competition. Intel needs someone to keep the regulators at bay. Otherwise, AMD would never have gotten the 286 contract in the first place.

But no one wants to be the "other" when negotiating for parts with Intel.
