It is not possible for 2 competing companies to have a monopoly. Perhaps you suspect some sort of collusion between them? Seems unlikely given the kicking Intel have had the past few years.

AMD has barely beaten Intel’s Sandy bridge, finally. Not enough for me to buy one.

They don’t need to collude, they’ll “compete” by siting on their ass like Intel did, barely being better yet jacking up the price, only “Haswell” is renamed “Zen 3”.

Wait a second, isn't Ryzen 5xxx much faster in single thread than Sandy Bridge ever was? Isn't the available number of cores greater as well?

Zen 2 beats it for price to performance, and much faster? It’s not even twice as fast. Nothing has doubled for close to a decade, and no difference in most real world usage.
