Someone with a gun to their head is the only party that would buy it. Latest mindfactory data suggests that in gaming consumer space is now 96% AMD, 4% Intel.

And doesn't sound like their next or next next nodes are in good shape either

That's not how it works. The fact that Intel are doing abysmally is already priced in.

  Mindfactory is widely used as proxy because its pretty much the only public data source on this that publishes monthly If you have a better source I'm all ears

    If we know that source is not representative, then why bother with drawing conclusions as extreme?

I just bought my first AMD chip in years (a 9950X3D), the last one I had was from the early FX series. After how poorly those FX chips performed, I swore off AMD for a long time. Ryzen definitely caught my interest when it first came out, but Intel still had the edge in performance and stability back then, so I stuck with them. That started to change with the 7800X3D, and now with the 97/9950X3D lineup, AMD is clearly ahead. I'm not even going to mention the "new" Intel chips. Funny how things shift. I'm firmly in the AMD camp now. And everyone I know is in the same boat. Probably 3-5 years ago Intel was the only "real" option for the people I know, now it's the exact opposite.

  Probably longer, Ryzen 3000 came out 6 years ago. That was the beginning of AMD's CPU dominance IME. I built my first AMD system ever in 2019 - I had been Intel-only since my first computer (a PIII)

    You are probably right w.r.t when they started becoming competitive. The reason why I mention the x3D chips is because Intel has literally still has no comparable product for them. If your application / game / whatever benefits from the extra cache, AMD blows intel out of the water.
