AMD vs. Intel → Survival of the Fittest

When we're talking CPUs, more cores and more threads means "more power".  To borrow an analogy from Animal Planet, every core is like a school of fish, and every additional thread is like an additional fish in a school — of piranha.  Individually the smallest part is just a nibble, but working in concert they're an unstoppable force of nature that can do the impossible in seconds.  It's that massively parallel nature of multi-core processors that makes them so valuable, but which "species" (Intel or AMD) is currently at the top of the multi-threaded food chain?

According to "natural selection" (and by that, we mean "what our customers are currently picking") AMD is emerging as the new dominant life-form.  We've seen a huge surge in popularity in past months, to the point where Intel is often left by the wayside.  Our University crowd (who are heavy into number-crunching simulations) choose AMD almost 9 times out of 10!  Their builds almost always focus on the third-gen 16, 24, 32, and 64-core Ryzen processors... often a Gigabyte TRX40 motherboard paired with the Threadripper 3990X for an astounding 64 cores and 128 threads...!  It truly is our "King of Beasts".
