Yeah I should have said design, embarrassingly I used to work in a (fabless) semiconductor company.

Totally agree with the software part. AMD usually designs something in the same ball park as Nvidia, and usually has a better price:performance ratio at many price points. But the software is just too far behind.

AMDs driver software is more featureful and better than NVidia's offerings. GeForce Experience + the settings app combo was awful, the Nvidia App is just copying some homework, and integrating MSI Afterburner's freeware.

But the business software stack was, yes, best in class. But it's not so for the consumer!
