It is a bit odd that there is no mention of the awful security problems like Spectre and Meltdown which mostly hit Intel and was very poorly handled by them. As a consumer i care way more about my CPU actually working as advertised and not some Specre mitigation killing the performance. The price performance ratio of AMD is just better, nobody cares about some weird extension if i can have a Threadripper with a bazillion cores for less money doing the same stuff. Even only for marketing reasons. And GPUs stole the vector cake years ago anyway.
