AMD...anyone who knew how to build their own PC's, for others, and even commercial gaming rigs picked AMD over Intel as the AMD chips were much better for overclocking than Intel based on how they were made, i.e. Intel chips were rated based on temperature their processing speed with almsot no overhead, whereas AMD left more of a buffer zone between max temperature and its appropriate processor speed.

Thus, you had a heat threshold buffer galore on the AMD chips, which not only was a benefit to overclockers, but to the general public in the form of reliability, performance, and durability over Intel.
Unfortunately, "the herd", i.e General Public is fixated on "WinTel", i.e. Untel and MS Windows. Thus, even when a superior product was out there for less, they chose inferior, based on a well known and almost single brand name as the choice for all the reasons: Perception, Marketing, Brand Name recognition...but then again, is not perception reality?
