.....But Intel Sucks!!!!
Kidding, of course. But I've seen the sort of groupthink you're describing, too.
While I am a self-proclaimed AMD fanboy, it's only recently that they've even had technology worth recommending over Intel on any serious basis since the 1gHz Thunderbird Space Heater days.

I am an Intel fanboy because they have a much larger engineering staff than AMD and AMD licenses most of their design from Intel, but Intel fell far behind on their 3d - 10nm process (compared to AMD chips are manufactured by TSMC which has 2d - 7nm process) and are only now announcing IceLake chips next month tentatively. This is dark time for Intel and they will need an unusual win to pull themselves out of this rut.
