AMD created one processor that was good for multataskers. People that work with different applications and wants good flow. If they do one lengthy operation in one application they switch to other applications and works with that. This is a much more productive way to work if you compare with those who just sit an stare at the monitor while the application is processing the lengthy command.
The problem is that there are a lot of users that don't use the processor as a working tool or that they want the fastest, they just look at how fast one processor can process one command without running other applications.

There are also a lot of people that has many running instances for one application. Working with one project could mean that you need to work with three different documents. You constantly switch between those documents, this need to be fast.

What AMD did was to create a good processor for actual work.
Intel has focused to create a processor that performs good on CPU tests.
