    Except that because AMD uses TSMC, AMD had better fab technology than Intel. AMD did a double (or triple) whammy to Intel. Intel has been behind since like 2015 or so. I swear Intel was on 14nm forever.

      AMD used Global Foundries when they started this strategy, and technologically they beat intel because of it, despite an inferior production process.
      So as I wrote, the strategy is solid.

      Intel has been behind since like 2015

      This is just stupid, AMD was way behind Intel until the arrival of Ryzen in March 2017, and Epyc came later.
      When AMD was later released from the GloFo agreement, they could stave off Intel with better production process from TSMC too.

      2015 is probably around the time Intel lost their production process advantage, but they were not way behind yet at that point.
