Sure, but only in retaliation. In 20 years of serious Intel-watching (I
programmed x51, x251, x930, x86, x286 and x386 in ASM), I have never
seen them blast the first shot, even though AMD sorely warranted it. The
only thing that I ever saw AMD come up that was worth watching (the
LANCE was after the battle started) was their CAM subsystem-on-a-chip,
and it was buggy as all 7734 and virtually impossible to use.
