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.

“Intels very anti-competitive behavior”

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. [0]: link [1]: link [2]: this video
