I guess you and I have different definitions of what an 'underdog' means. Intel ships more CPUs (and GPUs) overall than AMD, and Nvidia does more discrete GPUs (at least in PCs):

I'm not sure how valuable and relevant console sales are, since manufacturers make pennies on each unit. It makes sense that AMD, being the more "discount" brand, would be in more consoles than Intel. Except the first Xbox, has Intel ever been in a console?
AMD has turned around with Ryzen, and by some accounts is selling better lately, but Intel has had bigger numbers for a decade.

The margins are of less relevance. Intel has always been the unbeaten one, with most chips out there by an order of magnitude. Now that they lost this lead, everything (including P&D and margins) is expected to suffer.
