That has always been AMD's M.O. Offer more cores for your dollar.
Heck, AMD had the first Quad-Core CPU under $100.

Ryzen mixes things up because of it's strong single threaded performance.

Well, AMD gave us more cores, but Intel was still faster in many multi-threaded applications due to its massive IPC advantage. But now that they no longer have it, the extra cores AMD gives us do make a difference, which is why Intel has been forced to gives up 6 cores on their mainstream products, and soon, 8.

Well. Depends on the benchmarks back then. The Athlon 2 x4 was able to give Intels equivalent priced dual-cores a run for their money in heavily threaded applications.
