Ephud:

Intel comes immediately to mind. They broke contracts. Not once, but many times. IBM would not have used their CPU, if there was not an independent second source. Without that design win, Intel would have been an also ran or a fond memory by now. Motorola should have gotten that win as they had a far better CPU, the 68K. National Semi. would have been a decent choice at the time as well with their NS32008/16/32. Both were RISC CPUs with a well defined upgrade paths. AMD would have been a second source to either of them.

Those technicalities was Intel breaking the letter and spirit of those second source contracts. You would have howled, if say, IBM, refused to honor their initial contracts with Intel and bought all of their stuff from AMD.
