AMD vs Intel is the classic David & Goliath story. AMD currently makes a great processor and everyone thinks they have outdone Intel. What most fail to realize is that AMD is basically a one trick pony compared to Intel. They just don't have the engineering resources to offer the breadth of products to serve all the market segments Intel does. True, AMD picked the most profitable segment to attack as they should have. But everyone is criticizing Intel for stumbling and praising AMD for having their act together. AMD is juggling one ball, Intel is juggling 20. It's much easier to execute when your focus is narrow. When AMD starts to branch out and has to develop multiple processors and chipsets to serve the many markets that keep popping up, they will have a much greater opportunity to experience design problems, product delays and the occasional 'bad idea'.
