They are similar because they share a common ancestry. When IBM chose Intel's processor for their IBM PC, they required Intel to find a "second source", in case Intel was not able to manufacture enough processors to meet demand. Intel licensed their technology to AMD. As the dominance of IBM faded and Microsoft grew, the companies eventually became competitors, creating newer and improved versions of Intel's original design.
