Intel's fabs have stagnated so AMD now has access to fabs as good or better as Intels. In addition, AMD has been iterating on a new micro-architecture for the last few years that is actually competitive with Intel's. From 2011-2015 AMD's Bulldozer based micro-architectures were not competitive, and coupled with being way behind on process nodes was a completely uncompetitive high-end product line.
