What kind of logic is this? If you bought cheap no-name tires for your Toyota, and they blew out or vibrated like hell, you would blame toyota for it because it happened when you ran the tires on your toyota car? Stating "These are said to work on your car, yet they do not. Toyota sucks".

Any equal tier/priced hardware within the same generation are on par for gain per $ spent. With AMD CPU having the edge these last few tick/tock cycles these few years, intel for years before that. And for video cards, Nvidia 3090 holding the top slot, with AMD and nvidia fighting for the 2nd,3rd, and 4th on the lower SKUs. the 3080ti is to be seen if it knocks the 6900xt off of the close 2nd/3rd place when released. (as it's supposed to be the new competitor against it so nvidia can have 1st and 2nd top price point wins)
Only thing nvidia held was the very top end mark of highest tier and priced card beats all.
Every other price point was a fair match; all the way back to when nvidia made 3 digit series branded cards.
For CPU intel ran the lead with i7/i9, with the i5/i3 being fought hard with AMD for market share (until recent years, as the roles have switched). Before that AMD wore the winner hat against intel core-duo/core-quad until intel came out with the i-series. (Because AMD stopped the single core GHZ race and did the first viable muti-core CPU [Opteron then the AMD 64x2] so had the start advantage, intel reaction responded with the Pentium D [Smithfield] which wasn't that great).
But hey, you know more than the collective intelligence of the entire PC enthusiast and critic subculture I suppose.
Or show results of objective tests that dispute this? I cannot find any. One unbiased reviewer that agrees with you that one brand dominates the entire spectrum for performance across all tiers. (Not some of the brand focused sites/channels..they are clearly a biased outlet to a brand).
Other than nvidia's singular flagship card being the fastest of each gen, I fail to find or have seen any totalled results of all the other sku's being a huge obvious disparaging margin.
I am more than happy to admit I am wrong and learn something (as the saying goes: You never learn anything new by always agreeing with people). Just I need more evidence than a singular person saying its so subjectively.
Also: Still waiting on that list of mainstream software/programs this widespread incompatibility or outright failure to work is rampant on. I have ran 1000's of games, and 3d programs on Nvidia and ATi/AMD cards since the geforce 256 and R100 for video cards, and CPU from AMD Duron/Athlon and Intel Pentium Pro/Celeron, and And have had no more issues on one than the other overall. Both have had about equal share of 'rough patches' over the years where they had the rare problem of X or Y related to what I was using them for (with roughly 1/3 of the problems BIOS patch update/compatibility fixes not CPU issue itself). But not really one more than the other.
I am not a loyalist of any brand. I buy whatever that gen gets me the most bang for the buck in the enthusiast category. If the intel 12th's kick AMD's ass (this 11th seems to be struggling to keep up)..Then I will get it next build. AMD wins? I'll have an AMD build. Both for work and home.
