Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Intel is a major computer hardware supplier in the world, and its friend Microsoft buys hardware parts from them which it uses in manufacturing computers such as processor chips.

In respect to the bargaining power of suppliers in Porter's five forces model of industry competition, Intel acts as a supplier to Microsoft. And because of Intel's bargaining power like its market dominance and limited competitors, it can set prices which the–Microsoft has no choice but to purchase.
