> "Guys, don't go AMD, the new Intel CPU will be faster" To be fair, for years and years, new Intel CPUs were faster/better/whatever. What you remember as "kicked to the curb" was really something more like an occasionally great product in a sea of mediocrity where the industry was having terrible trouble competing. Someone would have a chip out with great reviews, and then the new Intel architecture would ship and everyone would forget about it. The current environment where they lag in almost all the high end product spaces is very much a novelty. |

What time period or space are you talking about here? Because that did not happen in the last 10 years for consumer and server processors. The last decade saw AMD with the FX processors failing to be competitive, at first single threaded, over time also multi-threaded and in performance per watt. Then after many years Ryzen came out and was at first just surprisingly competitive, then plainly better in every metric. And that's where we are now. The whole back-and-forth you are describing did not happen at all, and there were only AMD and Intel anyway, not "someone" or multiple players.
