The final paragraph

For now, Intel's On Demand program is reserved for servers, and we would expect it to remain a prerogative of Xeon platforms. Meanwhile, back in the day, Intel offered software upgrades for its desktop processors to make them run faster. Unfortunately, that program faced criticism as Intel essentially crippled its perfectly fine processors. As a result, some might think the On Demand program mimics the ill-fated Intel Upgrade Service. Still, keeping in mind that the server world behaves differently than the client PC world and that we do not know the terms of Intel's On Demand, we would not draw parallels here until we know all the details.

Just screwing themselves over if AMD doesnt follow suit, and at a time where it seems AMD has been chipping at their marketshare

They'd do best to let Intel burn on that end. AMD is known for letting people do what they want with their chips.
