Citation very much needed.

Show me an Intel CPU with PCIe 4.0 or with the performance per watt of the latest AMD Ryzen mobile chips. You can't, because to date they don't exist.

I think if they had anything in reserve it would have been released by now, because AMD is trouncing them in reviews.

If they were to have a revolutionary technology that they haven't released yet, they'd release it as soon as their OEM and enterprise sales actually started to take a nosedive. Even though PC enthusiasts are outspoken about it, Intel is still doing just fine in their much higher-volume areas.
Have you seen the numbers and prices on Epyc Rome? All signs point towards Intel's reign in all areas being over. Short of a miraculous turnaround, Intel won't be competitive in three years. I want Intel to do well, but they've demonstrated over the past ten years that they are not interested in doing well.
Isn’t there rumblings of AMD starting to make headway in data centers?
I can speak only about our smallish datacenter (1TB Core Bandwidth concurrent) and we definitely have been moving towards more AMD in the past year or two. Currently we have roughly a 60/40 AMD/Intel split on new machines.
they are only doing fine through inertia in enterprise and datacenter
