Amd kept leaping ahead in single core while intel finally got their security mitigations in place. Although intel was ahead against zen+, it was not by as much as you imagine since a lot of the intels where tested with mitigation’s partially off by then (and then of course there is intel insistence on reviews being done with smt off which is cute since amd performs better on it too)
