I read that as those who are going to switch away from x86 to ARM is already a loss for Intel. So RISC-V gives them a way to claw back some of those losses. At the end of the day Intel has always been a foundry and x86 is one way to drive up business for those expensive foundries. RISC-V can be another way to drive business towards Intel if Intel can establish a relationship with RISC-V designers early on.
