Intel makes both processors and compilers.

  Yes, but their compiler doesn't have much market share, certainly not enough that it can drive the chip design. They do, of course, make a lot of popular chips, but even there they can't dictate the architecture single-handedly. The vast majority of software seems to be built with something other than Intel compilers and compiled for generic 32-bit x86/i386/ia32 and/or x64/x86_64/amd64 platforms. (whatever you want to call 'em)
