Agree. It took a truly superior product at lower cost to make a dent in Intel's dominance in server, all the while Intel tried their best to flex their lock in muscle.

That happened well after 2008, with the advent of Zen and chiplet bases tech and better perf/W

Ryzen 1 was far from superior, performance-wise it was already behind Intel at around Haswell-level but it brought the first reasonably-priced octacore x64 for the masses.
