Explains how Intel's focus shifted away from better technology.
I watched this video yesterday, and it seems to explain a lot about how Intel has been less focused on building better technology in the last 10-15 years: [this video] I'm not sure how balanced the viewpoint in the video is, but the author comes up with a lot of references.
Why Intel kept selling despite AMD's performance lead.
I'm not sure what you mean. From the time AMD released the K7 'Athlon' CPU, until the time Intel released Core2, AMD was king of performance. That's a long spawn of time. To understand why Intel kept selling CPUs like pancakes despite this, check this out: [this video]

Evidence of Intel's anti-competitive history.
I assume you mean Linus from YouTubes "Linus Tech Tips", and not Linus Torvalds. Surprised you wouldn't clarify that considering what website this is. Considering Intel's history, I wouldn't bet they direct their efforts based on a YouTube reviewer. Also, considering Intels very anti-competitive behavior (e.g [0], [1], [2]), I am wary of stating Intel entering the DDR industry will make it any less corrupt.
