AMD's problem isn't performance-per-$. It's performance-per-watt (on servers and laptops), and overall a huge die size disadvantage (315mm^2 vs 160mm^2) that makes it difficult to profit.

And there is no foreseeable way for AMD to catch up on these metrics.

By all means if it's tested faster than the same priced Intel CPU in the game you want to play then buy it, just don't expect them to be solvent for much longer.
