They've done much more than that. Intel's current server CPU lineup is tightly siloed into different segments to limit every feature that some customers would pay more for into it's own line priced to match. That's why they currently have Xeon Scalable {Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum}, Xeon {D, W, E} lines, with 402 different Xeon CPUs actively being sold.
In contrast, AMD has two EPYC lines, P and non-P, only differing in that P is for 1-socket servers. The models in these lines differ in that they have more/less cores and different clocks, all those features that Intel gates and segments by, are found in every AMD CPU.
