The compilers sppecifically chose the slowest code paths for non-Intel chips, even when you chose to compile with those features for AMD when using Intel hardware. You can still download those versions to check the results. Also, price fixing was just one tactic used. Intel created exclusive contracts by threatening smaller chip makers with supporting their competitors if they shared technology with AMD, then later removed their products from their chipsets. Intel wasn't just trying to hurt AMD, they were systemmatically grooming a weakened marketplace that they could more easily dominate.
