Everyone is so focused on performance per watt and performance per dollar but, if I'm not mistaken, next year AMD will have hardware fixes for Spectre* and that seems like a big factor in the decision making. There's always new variants being found and that has to be a huge pain for companies, they won't have to worry about that if they go with AMD. Tough times ahead for Intel...
