underdog story + intel antitrust bullshit got everyone riled up about "intel jews" and cheering for amd. then ryzen came out and it was genuinely really good
intel had been producing 4-thread midrange processors and 4-core/8-thread "high end" processors for a decade, when ryzen came out it instantly came with 8 core processors and started pushing up in the next couple of refreshes, WHILE also being pretty good at everything else
in the years after ryzen 1, amd has stalled a bit (we're still on 8 to 16 cores on desktop, and have been for several years already), but intel has been having a lot of troubles with its fabrication so it's getting worse and worse and amd has kept up with still making good cpus
the 3d cache was the newest improvement so now amd has the best processors both for workstations (more threads at a reasonable price point) AND for games

the problem of course is that if intel continues making shit cpus and amd continues maintaing the lead we might literally get a reversal of the situation, as in amd just having a monopoly and stalling any improvement and just coasting on their dominance while intel flounders and can't catch up - the fact is that both companies are jewish and enjoy milking consumers as much as they're able to when they can get away with it. but for the past few years amd has been the former underdog having a comeback and challenging the intel monpoly so they've been the ones putting out consistently good products while intel got caught and is struggling to improve
