If there is market and enough demand, they will enter it and try to dominate it.Intel tried that once (Xscale) and failed miserably. The second time it didn't even bother to go with ARM again. Chances are much lower that it would ever bother with RISC-V. Intel's CFO would probably be embarrassed to even bring up a report to the CEO showing how much (little) money they could make from licensing or even manufacturing RISC-V chips ("But sir, we could make hundreds of dollars!")

I'm not so sure this will work very well for Intel either. Intel is only willing to do this in markets it doesn't compete. So it agreed to do it in the mobile market, for example, because it doesn't plan on ever going back with its own chips there again.
Since Intel is trying to enter the IoT and automotive markets with Atom or Core chips right now, I doubt it would be making ARM or RISC-V chips anytime soon.
