>Current-gen Intel & AMD processors are pretty much neck-to-neck in both performance and price.

I think this is only if you ignore multi-threading but I might be wrong, did Intel release better multi core CPUs or cut down the prices?

The newest Intel 11th-gen i9-11900K actually reduces core count from 10 (on the i9-10900K) to 8, although leaked performance numbers point to the new chip matching last-gen's multi-threaded performance due to a huge single-threaded performance bump.

It's worth pointing out that their new chips aren't out yet ("Q1") and Intel has completely given up on matching AMD's 12C or 16C parts.

Here's the i9-10900k 10-core vs AMD 5900x 12-core. Intel comes in at about $52/core, and AMD at $46/core (assuming you can find a 5900x, good luck).

This chart from Tom's Hardware shows a similar story:

AMD Zen3 has a lead on Intel 10th gen, but the cost/performance story has shifted.

So AMD is still cheaper but somehow "story has shifted"? AMD is still ~12% cheaper per core and has more cores. Also, 2nd image you linked, AMD has better performance per core.
