idk go look at the xeon versus amd equivalent benchmarks. theyve been converging although amd's datacenter offerings were always a little behind their consumer
this is one of those things where there's a lot of money on the line, and people are willing to do the math.
the fact that it took this long should tell you everything you need to know about the reality of the situation
AMD has had the power efficiency crown in data center since Rome, released in 2019. And their data center CPUs became the best in the world years before they beat Intel in client.
The people who care deeply about power efficiency could and did do the math, and went with AMD. It is notable that they sell much better to the hyperscalers than they sell to small and medium businesses.

They all show AMD with a strong lead in power efficiency for the past 5 years.
I know what the benchmarks are like, I wish that you would go and update your knowledge. If we take cloud as a comparison it's cheaper to use AMD, think they're doing some math?
