Intel's new strategy is to work with game developers to give their CPU an artificial advantage, likely similar to the deal they have for Marvel. Not sure how a few titles can save them. Moreover these titles aren't really very popular to begin with. Marvel Avengers is mainly because of the movies but that hype train came to a screeching halt.

It's not new, every game ever uses the intel compiler and was optimized for the most common CPU which would have been an intel CPU.
Not sure how a few titles can save them.
They don't need any saving, they are very close to ryzen 3 performance and you can actually buy intel CPUs, by the time there are enough ryzen 3 out there rocket lake will have launched.
Exspecially game ai would benefit from more cores.
That's only true for chess and other turn based strategy games, were the whole game stops at the end of the turn so there is no new data and you can make a thread for any possible moves the CPU can make and then compare the results.

Look how well far cry 5 did when they tried to make their AI multithreaded, it became a meme.

Saving from what? $70 billion in revenue? Do you realliy think AMD being more competitive in the consumer and server markets is going to kill a company that makes more each quarter than AMD does in a year?

They don't need saving. They need to get thir heads on straight and get back to making the best process tech, although arguably theirs is the best just not the "smallest". Otherwise they will be just fine. AMD has just started and looks to be planning to try to enter some of the higher margin markets like FPGAs.
