For me it looks like AMD and Intel don't always compete head on, they have applications for different audiences. And apparently they are even collaborating on a mobile processor, with AMD supplying the graphics chip for Intel's latest Core i7 with Vega M. It is changing all of the time.

Looks like AMD is holding the more dominant position of the two in specialist graphics cards for gamers. Intel does produce 3D graphics chips, but its expertise lies more in integrated graphics for use in laptops. AMD supplies graphics cards from low-profile, passively-cooled cards to very high quality RX Vega 64 card which is very expensive. Here Nividia is a greater competitor to it than Intel.

I'm not an expert but looks as though AMD in history used to be the cheaper alternative to Intel. One could get a PC or Laptop with AMD that is much cheaper than Intel. But looks as though that is changing too. AMD is getting much more competitive with Intel in Intel's natural field of expertise and is providing great competition with its latest Ryzen 2 series processors that are worthy competitors of Intel and in high demand because of their lower price.
