How, by licensing AMD to make chips conforming to the standard that Intel had created, does Intel lose control over that standard any more than Qualcomm loses control when it licenses its patents?

The difference is that Qualcomm, in essence, is an IPR company, and depends on the royalties paid by the companies it licenses its technology to for its income. On the other hand, not only does Intel depend on the sale of its products for income, it gains nothing by having given AMD a license. Qualcomm's licensees are its customers, while Intel's "licensees" are its competitors.
