Not sure how well/bad is AMD doing right now. Have been using Intel machines for over two decades now but not long ago I finally switched to AMD with my new PC and I regret haven't done so earlier. In the meantime, I'm also about to ditch Windows. I guess I'm not alone. Time to say goodbye to Wintel league.

That's more or less irrelevant, AMD is one of the many fabless companies like Qualcomm or MediaTek. Intel makes it's own chips, and now wants to make chips for other companies as well. They may end up making AMD processors one day.

Isn’t that a huge conflict of interest?

It’s hard to see how AMD would get capacity ahead of Intel CPUs.

Samsung makes a lot of money manufacturing displays and cameras for Apple. They are working on an under-display sensor too that's going to replace the notch in the future.

Intel used to make a processor with AMD graphics and 4GB HBM2 (Core i7-8809G).

Agree. They will prioritize their chips on leading edge. Plenty of business for older processes though.
