CPUs need to make legacy code up to 40 years old run faster so there is a ton of complexity in the hardware. They are chasing people who want modest speed bumps without large changes.
Kinda like how apple was able to pull off a performant phone/tablet after Microsoft failed a bunch... Because they got people to rewrite apps (or create) for their platform instead of shoehorning windows apps into a different form factor. Much bloat was cut, usability was redone. It's an analogy so don't go silly over the differences.
If it were easy to build a CPU competitive with Intel, AMD would do it more consistently.
As an aside: I know it's not the done thing to complain about down votes, but I do find an honest, polite question - not even a statement - being modded to oblivion somewhat unusual.
