Although Intel are better suited for different tasks than AMD chips, both have their strengths and for the basic user, those lines are very blurred. It seems Intel overly priced their chips and for a great number of users, AMD is a cost effective and attractive alternative to higher priced Intel chips.

AMD has not made a profit in 4 years.
But this week, their stock jumped 50%+, they have a deal going with China to supply CPUs for their upcoming server industry.
