AMD said long ago that they were leaving the high-end market business and would focus on the other portions of the market. And that's what they are doing.
I agree that AMD's best CPUs can't compete with Intel ones, but you can see that AMD has been pricing its chips very well, pairing them with Intel chips that have similar performance.
And there is another thing. If AMD disappears, what will happen with Intel? With AMD out of the game and with VIA being the only other x86 licensee, Intel could be seen as it is monopolizing the market. If that happens they could be forced to give more licensees (to Nvidia or ARM for example) and/or being forced to split.
Intel, as much as we, need AMD alive.
