Actually, what you've stated shows the need for this kind of lawsuit. Intel on top for a long time. AMD comes around, develops a better CPU for less $$$. Intel counters. Heavy competition leads to great innovation and avancement for a while. So why the sudden lag in innovation?
Intel tires of putting so much time and money into chip development and tech advancement to protect their share of the pie, resources they'd much rather spend on marketing ("Intel Inside" - then those four little musical notes we ALL know so well). So...shift the strategy!
Lock out AMD by coercing, bullying and bribing all the major OEM's into not only using mainly Intel's product, but specifically NOT using any of AMD's. Hence Intel's large market share, hence AMD's decline in the same, hence lack of innovation, etc.
Even though MANY people would agree that AMD has been producing as good or better CPU's than Intel for years (look at the benchmarks) they just can't seem to get a break. This certainly would explain why. I, for one, welcome our hard-working, CPU making underdog and their already precedented lawsuit!
