I don't remember a time when AMD truly did compete with Intel. AMD does offer a cheaper product which every now and then managed to outperform the Intel equivalent (Athlon Vs. the Pentium 3; Duron vs. Celeron) but AMD has lagged behind Intel mostly because of Intel's aggressive marketing strategies.
Lay computer buyers have no idea what the hell an "AMD" is, but they do know they've seen Intel Inside stickers everywhere. Or, perhaps they've seen the Pentium 4 commercials.
Nowadays, Intel is beating the hell out of all other processor manufaturers - they basically have no real compeition anymore. They've got multiple markets of proccessors and you'd need a damn benchmark performance chart just to know which CPU does what.
