Most likely so. Intel seems to be going the route of adding more
"proprietary" instructions to their chips in an attempt to control the
market. The effect is their processors are getting more complex, but it
is complexity for complexities sake -- not for increasing their
processing power.

I think this is starting to backfire on them somewhat.
