The sad thing is that AMD looks better than they probably deserve, by virtue of being compared to Intel. Ryzen is a better CPU platform for sure, but just look at how behind they are compared to ARM architectures like Apple's M1 and M2 - which get vastly better performance and a small fraction of the power draw.

That's because:
1) Apple owns the entire vertical stack on Hardware & Software integration. You can optimize the hell out of everything if you own every aspect of the tech stack.
2) Apple went different and chose to have MASSIVE L1$ & L2$ over L3$ while making all their CPU registers wider instead of faster.
3) Apple targeted Power Efficiency over Performance.
4) Intel has been asleep at the helm for over a decade, they're starting to play catch up
5) AMD has been playing catch up on Power Efficiency and now has more $$$ to keep on improving power efficiency and gaining the Title Crown for performance.

Just look at the Steam Deck, the first generation of APU's that can properly game @ 720p60.
AMD already has more powerful & efficient APU's then the one they gave Valve.
6) Give AMD/Intel time. They'll catch up in due time.

The problem with AMD is that they seem to treat NVIDIA the same way they treat Intel, but NVIDIA is just way ahead of AMD in image reconstruction modalities and it's really making AMD look bad on the GPU side of things.

No they don't, AMD perfectly understands how big of a threat nVIDIA is.

They don't take Jen-sen Huang lightly.

Same with Intel, Pat Gelsinger is a legit threat to Lisa Su's road to the top with AMD in tow.

nVIDIA is ahead currently, but given the proprietary nature of DLSS, alot of developers are prefering FSR 2.0 due to the Open Source nature.

DLSS may go the way of Gsync and just kind of "Be there" while FSR 2.0 will become widely adopted since it's open source.
