The same goes for talent as well, it costs money and AMD has a relatively smaller pool of (very) talented engineers that can work on a given project at one time as compared to its much bigger rivals. In comparison, competitors like NVIDIA and Intel are giants with market capitalizations of $158.2 billion and $254.1 billion respectively and net income in the billions of dollars as well. The company has a market capitalization $15.25 billion and has struggled to turn a profit. It is essential to understand AMD’s contextual backdrop – both in terms of talent and finances. There is a lot of internal AMD politics going on behind the scenes with all these developments. In addition to that Unless you are buying a very expensive K version chip the Intel stuff is locked out of overclocking, it's not my thing, but all AMD chips are unlocked. but all their chips give more bang for the buck, the only advantage Intel cpu's have at this moment is higher clock speeds and they had to scramble to get those out when Ryzen dropped. Debuting an old Chip with a thousand dollar cooling system used for aquariums, and pulling something like 1500 to 2000 watts for the cooler alone. Yeah Intel really got egg on their face with that bonehead move. They would pull off a huge feat just to get it to 4Gz on a consumer level cooling solution, like an All-In-One Water Cooling kit (like a Corsair H110i or so). They didn't mention they used a freezer box at -10C to get that. They tried to fool everyone by saying it was running at 5Ghz. Intel panicked (again) and rushed out basically a server chip (that 28-core they announced), with a base clock of 2.7Ghz. I think AMD really hit Intel where it hurts, this time.
