A fact is that intel didn't allow AMD to sell, either at all, or in the needed quantities, even when AMD's CPUs were either at least on par, or even superior to the Pentium line.
That's why intel got the fines, because of all its illegal activities, some of which continue to this day.

All of these CPUs predate the Phenom by a decade, at that point you can't really say that the market dynamics or situation would lead to anything that's been debated on this thread thus far. AMD had been ahead at that time, and remained so while Intel struggled with NetBurst. They even won out the 64-bit race, and AMD64 was adopted instead of Itanium. Bringing this up is about as much of a wild tangent as it'd been if I had any malicious intent here and claimed that AMD CPUs were bad because Palomino burned while Pentium III throttled (I presume you know of the Toms hardware video? lol), I just don't see the connection here.
By the time AMD was struggling with Phenom and then the biblical failure of the Heavy Equipment lineup, Intel would have been far, far ahead regardless simply because they had a far superior product to offer. Often I think that people don't quite realize how blessed the CPU market is today. Across all tiers and segments, Intel and AMD have equivalent processors who win over each other in an equal number of scenarios, this brings prices down and is great news to us, the consumers.
