Intel gets multi-core for desktop and server just fine. It's mobile devices and graphics where they have been consistently behind.
There are some (specialized) types of computation for which parts made by AMD/ATI and Nvidia are greatly superior. That Nvidia and other ARM licensees have completely taken over the fast growing mobile device market with efficient multicore CPUs with integrated GPUs is really significant to Intel.
