RE:"In the 386 days, AMD had about 30% market share, their 386-40 was
faster than Intel's best (33 MHz)."

Things aren't so simple this time. When AMD had the 386-40 and Intel had the 386-33, Intel had a core in waiting to jump to to regain superiority. The 486.
When AMD came out with the K6-233, Intel soon distanced itself with the P-II.
This time, when AMD brings the K7, Intel has no new core answer for a year. Don't know why Intel has been caught off guard this time other than they have spent too much time on the Merced or AMD has a better attack plan this time.
