AMD was very worried about Intel. Rightly so, with the background on appalling anticompetitive behaviour from team blue combined with their huge tech advantage. Intel stumbled badly enough for Zen to take root and Epyc is now riding roughshod over them. Now that conflict is largely forgotten. Despite being so recent that server farms are still running xeon purchased when that was a vaguely reasonable thing to do. Nvidia and AMD are both pushing hard on GPUs. Team green announcing a yearly release cadence was a big deal, team red followed up with the same. That's really pushing the engineering teams at both sides. Lots of work being done to bring tape outs closer. It's not looking like either group is remotely inclined to relax and seek out profits instead of progress.
