Intel had just illegally crippled AMD with their criminal actions so they looked good compared to crippled AMD. Intel wasn't good for a decade, they came out with Sandy Bridge and sandbagged everyone for a decade. AMD wasn't able to do anything because Intel kept dragging the courts along over the years about its criminal activities.it was full of ironie we hace to respect the actual better company. now its not the intel but intel was very long time good. we are talking about more than a decade.
It wasn't until the European Commission finally said "enough is enough" and convicted Intel. Once that happened, AMD took the lawsuit money, combined it with a good chunk of ATi's R&D budget, hired Jim Keller, created Zen and came all the way back in less than four years. Imagine where we'd be if Intel really WAS good. We'd be at least four generations ahead of where we are now.
Don't be so ready to applaud Intel's actions during the new millennium. Intel makes nVidia look like an absolute angel in comparison (and that's no easy task!). Jim from AdoredTV has the most accurate and in-depth analysis of Intel's activities over the past couple of decades:
That's like when Commodorus stuck a knife into Maximus before they fought in the movie "Gladiator". Not exactly the most admirable of actions, eh?
