"That's conjecture on your part ... According to the AMD lawsuit, paragraph 36, line 4/5 " Apples and pineapples. Can AMD supply the whole market like Intel can? No. Has an OEM ever failed to ship units because AMD suddenly wasn't able to fill their contracts? Not to my knowledge. It takes 13 some odd weeks from wafer in to packaged processors. Both AMD and Intel have a good idea how many chips they can ship at any given point in time. So they know how many to contract to sell. So, unless they have a production crash of some sort, they can fulfill their contracts. In the early days, production crashes were pretty common. Not so any more.
