Yes, they can. Their processors share the same INSTRUCTION SET. It is called AMD64 and Intel copied it from AMD.

No one asks Intel to optimize code for AMD processors. They just want Intel to let the SAME code run on Intel and AMD processors (and it will run, as soon as they remove specific checks for "Genuine Intel" chips).
