No they aren't.  AMD keeps becoming a better competitor; remember it
wasn't that long ago that they only had cheaper but inferior clones, they
...
 didn't have processors which actually performed
better than Intel's,
even at the high end.  But now they do.  And there is also Transmeta. 

I'd also agree at one point you had Intel, AMD, Cyrix and some I forgot.
Monoply no, some better than others sure.

Also there are whole market segments where intel does not own
more than a small peice of it at all.
