Sounds like the Intel I know and love.

Intel made the 8080. Zilog produced the Z80. The best Intel could
respond with was the 8085.

Intel made the 8051. Several others made work alikes. Intel is not even
in that business any more as far as I know.

Intel made the 8086, 186, 286, 386, 486, and then the Penti-uuuummm. It
took longer but they still managed to blow their leadership.
