Technically impossible. Hmm.. do you mean Intel > AMD. nVidia > AMD. nVidia > Intel. AMD > Intel.
Lol, oops AMD > Intel. It must have been my bubble. I was on Ryzen in 2018. In 2020 I queried a few cloud servers I had access to and they seemed to be using EPYC CPUs. I basically had no exposure to Intel CPUs until my recent Panther Lake laptop.
