> Intel has better software engineers for high-performance math it seems.

Intel has software engineers for pretty much every application. AMD has very few software engineers.

Yeah, that's quite unfortunate, however as AMD seems to be able to earn some $ in the following ~2 years they might go on SWE hiring spree...

Or drive a truck full of money to Intel HQ to pay them to do it.

Probably need to be a lot of money though.

I think much of that will flow into their GPU department. They have the node advantage compared to Nvidia (TSMC 7nm vs. TSMC 12nm) but can only match Nvidia in power consumption and performance. Once Nvidia get's to 7nm with their new architecture they will increase the gap again (unless RDNA2 which is rumored for H1 2020 brings a big efficiency and performance improvement - and not only hardware accelerated RT).
