There's probably quite a bit of truth to that, but in recent years Intel has had two dramatic under-performers (Atom can't come close to ARM and the on-chip graphics for their mid-range processors have yet to fill the gap left when Intel forced NVidia to stop making integrated graphics chipsets) and a complete failure (Larrabee) that seem like they shouldn't have happened given Intel's dominance.
Why is Intel having trouble broadening their horizons? Is it an institutional thing, that the teams not working on the main (and most profitable) CPU product lines just can't get the resources needed to catch up with the competition? Intel always has the latest and greatest fabs, but it seems like the designs they're producing for these new product lines are completely squandering that advantage and then some.
