Not true at all. If Intel could do that:

1) they wouldn't have replaced its Core-based Celerons and Pentiums with Atoms to increase profits - and they sell those for $110-$160

2) they wouldn't have licensed Atom IP to Rockchip and other low-end chip makers, essentially pursuing an ARM-like IP-revenue model (for which they would've made peanuts and didn't pan out anyway).

Intel Celerons even the embedded ones are currently based on Skylake. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Celeron_micropro...

Intel licenses allot of things they still have ARM licenses and probably even Power PC ones.
