K.M., The patent infringement suits brought by DEC and Cyrix on the same date simply indicated that Intel was no more a technology sound hi-tech company after 486DX was debuted. Nevertheless, Intel does run their factories extremely efficiently and have unbelievable marketing muscle to sell flawed chips at premium to the public. Neither AMD nor Cyrix could match up with Intel in both respects. If you need more evidences on Intel technology shortage, look no further than the coming cacheless PII which should be good enough to explain what a technology loser would do when they found nothing left to be copied from.
