I'm not a fanboy, but the idea that you can fire up 20 year old software on the Intel and run it with insane single-thread performance (substantially more than M1 or AMD) is why they are still top dog. It takes a certain level of technological sophistication that is more impressive to me than bolting on more cores. On a practical level, there are a ridiculous amount of games, simulation, scientific and engineering software that falls into that category and asking people to re-write tens of thousands of lines of code to take advantage of a new architecture isn't happening.
