Last year I told u to dump AMD. This year I'm impressed they're keeping up

Bro, your assessment of Ryzen processors is off the mark. Intel still has a slight edge over Ryzen's single thread performance and therefore can be considered "better" for gaming, but processors are no longer a performance bottle neck for gaming. When it comes to multi-thread performance, Ryzen has a clear and fairly commanding lead over Intel. AMD just further cemented this lead with the smooth release of the second gen Zen processors (Zen+).
AMD's GPUs remain shit and will be liability for the foreseeable future, and miners will no longer be there to bail them out. Barring a huge development in crypto, it is no longer economically sound to purchase new cards for mining. As such, AMD must count on gamers to buy their GPUs, which is a tall order since Nvidia has maintained its giant performance advantage over AMD's GPUs.
I don't know enough about the mobile or server CPU markets to speak intelligently on those topics.
EDIT: Just reread your OP, and I may have been a little harsh. Suffice it to say, AMD has reached parity with Intel at the moment in the desktop PC market and arguably has surpassed Intel.
Cop that AMD CPU. I just built a PC using a 2700X, and it is 180.

The average desktop user only sees marginal benefits from extra cores past a certain point (specifically 4) though, even in 2018. This is because many applications aren't really designed with a fully-parallel mindset but you have "the UI thread, the worker thread, the state thread" and so forth.
For server or workstation purposes I agree they've taken the lead, but that market is slower to react and they'll have to sustain their advantage for some time for companies to buy-in accordingly. If I were building a desktop today I'd choose an AMD CPU, but most people just aren't both running windows to play games and a full-blown linux VM alongside for development.
To be honest the thing I like most about AMD is they're our best counter to some Chinese bullshit curbstomping the world. There is a very likely scenario wherein the Party begins to heavily favor local CPU manufacturers, and once those companies are large enough they'll eventually reach parity with Intel. AMD is the only thing keeping Intel on its toes, and Making CPUs Profitable Again so they aren't as laser-focused on GPU margins is a great development for US competition to keep us ahead and preempt such scenarios.
I'm still like 90% convinced of my conspiracy theory that AMD has been propped up all along with an agreement between the three relevant parties (US govt, AMD, and Intel) due to pretty much this exact scenario, though.

AMD's 3000 series will be out soon, pushing the entry level to 6cores/12threads with the top end at 16/32. Just amazing.
What the fuck is Intel doing? TSMC, chip manufacturer for AMD, is already at 7nm (which is probably equivalent to Intel's 10nm) but Intel keeps delaying the release of their 10nm desktop CPUs.
