I'd argue AMD and Intel were pretty close in single-threaded performance until the Core 2 Duo (released in 2006).

Athlon 64 destroyed the Pentium 4 and the Athlon XP model names were originally meant to be an equivalent to how fast the lower-clocked AMD cpu would perform to the speed of a Pentium 4 clocked at the same MHz as the model name. Here's a top of the line Intel Pentium 4 3.46 Extreme Edition being unable to compete with AMD processors running at 66% of the clock speed of the Intel. https://www.anandtech.com/show/1529 https://www.anandtech.com/show/1529 I really don't count Core Duo, even though I had a Macbook equipped with one. The Core 2 Duo was Intel's first real competition to Athlon 64.
