What stops Intel from Licensing the ARM Core and build a industry leading ARM Chip?

That others can compete directly on price. Intel can probably do it technically, but will not have the margins they had with x86.

Yes that is true. if the Industry shifts happens then the only way they can have those margins is if they build a equally competent ARM Chip, hard to justify to the investors to abandon billions invested in the current architecture. Surely the top management and marketing would be fired. But Intel could do it.
