Not mentioned is why AMD is cheaper, what technically happened, and why cut throat competition ended years ago.
Recall how a transistor works. A glass is charged on one side. Then current flows through a channel on the other side. Remove that charge and current stops flowing. But transistors became so small that the glass was only three atoms thick. Current was leaking through glass causing much heat and restricting CPU speeds.
In companies run by business school graduates, a spread sheet is carefully studied to determine market trends. But since everything takes four to ten years to design, spread sheets are only reporting on things that changed four and more years ago.
Intel does not analyze spread sheets (bean counter thinking). Moore's law (product oriented thinking) says what Intel products must do. But Mooore's law could not be met; that glass meant transistors could not get smaller and faster.
Everyone knew Hi-K materials were necessary. But no one could make it work. IBM tried Hafnium - which failed in production. Intel's management decided to commit to Hafnium even though that process would not work. If Intel did not succeed, then Moore's law was violated. Since management came from where the work gets done (not from business schools), then Intel took a major gamble - commited to Hafnium. If it failed, Intel had no new products for two years.
Free market economics repeatedly shows why some companies prosper. At some point, every company must take a risk - bet the farm. For example Boeing did that with the 747. And again with the Dreamliner - 787.
Because top management came from where the work gets done, Hafnium worked. AMD did what any business school graduate would do - do what is safe. Intel processors now blow away AMD. AMD products are now so technically inferior that even its stock price has tumbled. The company has profit problems due to management that made decisions from spread sheets; foolishly said the purpose of a company is profits. Intel's management says its purpose is its products. Intel uses Moore's law; not what is taught in business schools.
What happened more than 4 years ago is why Intel processors are now superior - and sell at higher profits. AMD is now playing catchup - due to decisions made by bean counters so many year ago.
