I'll also point out, the reason many know and purchase Intel is because of marketing and advertising. That's not the only reason but a big one for the typical consumer. Intel figured people's mind share out long ago, while AMD only really woke up to it when they put their APU's in the 2013 consoles. Even then AMD didn't really get into somewhat serious widescale marketing and advertising until 2017 with Ryzen, which is still just a fraction of what you see from Intel.
Intel understands that with mind share and perceived trust you can get people to buy your product even if it's not the best performing, cheapest, most secure, at some period in time. You can get away with that for a while, as you pivot and/or innovate. In the past, AMD depended mostly on their products performance, like with their Athlon Series around the year 2000, to get people to buy their products, which only works if you can keep the performance crown forever, which you can't. AMD also tried simply being the cheaper alternative afterwards, but that didn't really work either. AMD needed mind share, which brought market share.
It's why you see Intel rebranding more recently. New logo's, newer jingle, new performance metrics. They're mind share and trust is fading so they're maneuvering with their advertising to try and slow the decline since they're unable to do it with their products as of late. Truth is it's been better for everyone because healthy competition leads to more innovation.
