Have you considered the possibility that Ryzen and Threadripper are the results of Intel-AMD collaboration to insure Intel avoids an "unintentional" monopoly?

> Intel had introduced the first x86 microprocessors in 1978.[54] In 1981, IBM created its PC, and wanted Intel's x86 processors, but only under the condition that Intel also provide a second-source manufacturer for its patented x86 microprocessors.[15] Intel and AMD entered into a 10-year technology exchange agreement, first signed in October 1981[49][55] and formally executed in February 1982.[38] The terms of the agreement were that each company could acquire the right to become a second-source manufacturer of semiconductor products developed by the other; that is, each party could "earn" the right to manufacture and sell a product developed by the other, if agreed to, by exchanging the manufacturing rights to a product of equivalent technical complexity.

Is this how intel gets access to x64 and amd could manufacture x86 chips?

That was a public agreement, not market rigging.
AMD suplicensed there license of x86_64 to a chinese company. I want those chinese proccesor's but I can't get them. Sad.
