Kinda haha, not voluntarily. After their Fx series chips they created the Zen architecture; Zen is more smaller chips that work together. This means its easier for them to have higher yields and allowed them to transition to a smaller node process more easily.

If you know anything about how a CPU is made its basically a big disc of silicon and they etch in the transistors/overall design with a process similar to exposing film with a camera. Then they break that disc up into each individual cpus.

Problem is that each disc has defects, if any of the cpus on the disc are in an area with defects they have to be tossed. Because Intel uses big chips, if even one tiny area on it has a defect the whole chip is lost, with amd the chip is split into chiplets which allows them to have a much better yield.

The main reason for intel not moving to the 10nm node and instead sticking with 14nm for so many years is that their yield for 10nm is so bad its not cost effective for them to make them at a full production scale.

Now ofc they could switch to a chiplet design like AMD but that would require them to completely change their architecture and take years plus money. For the time being I don't see Intel being able to put out a competitive product to AMD for a few years, theres only so much Intel can squeeze out of 14nm. Will be interesting to see what the future holds for both companies, my bet is on AMD.
