They caught up/surpassed Intel in multithreaded performance with the first gen of Ryzen (of course depending on price point), but until Zen 3 Intel still had the advantage in single threaded perf. And because a lot of games either heavily peg one thread only, or only scale to a small number of threads this meant Intel still had the advantage on most games at a lot of price points. It's only with Zen 3 that Ryzen is beating Intel in single threaded perf as well.
