Each brand has its strengths and weaknesses. AMD isn't dominating anymore, but they are still ahead in areas such as AVX512 (absent in Intel Core), the ability to mount more than 8 performant cores in a chip (Intel's intra-core communication architecture is difficult to scale, hence their new P+E approach, which fortunately seems to work well), and their ability to take advantage of the multi-chip process to mount absurd amounts of cache. The multi-chip approach is also a tech advantage that allows them to cut costs.
