Sorry but after the amazing Athlon x2, the core and core 2 (then i series) lines fuckin wrecked AMD for YEARS. Ryzen took the belt back but AMD was absolutely wrecked through the core and i series.

Source: computer building company and also history

tl:dr: AMD sucked ass for value and performance between core 2 and Ryzen, then became amazing again after Ryzen was released.

AMD "bulldozer" architecture CPUs were indeed pretty bad compared to Intel Core 2, but they were also really cheap.
