Oh?  I thought AMD's processors were still cheaper.  At least a couple years ago, I remember hearing when AMD's processors were rating ahead of Intel's.  For the price of an Intel i9-9900K, there was an AMD processor that was similarly priced that had more cores, and AMD's processors were getting slightly better ratings than Intel across the board, except for a couple cases.
