Fully agree. This is a phenomenon that goes beyond tech.
Personally I have always rooted for AMD as the underdog and because Intel was the Goliath that held back CPU performance so it could squeeze more dollars out of consumers.

I haven't really seen any brand loyalty here so far.
I really couldn't care less what architecture my chips are, or who fabricates them. All I care about is price and performance.
I write application software, the underlying hardware is pretty irrelevant to me and most of my peers too.
