It's not just the security for Intel chips, it's that you get effectively the same performance for half the price at a lower TDP. That is on their top tier chip, not counting the mid range where Intel fares even worse.

AMD will lead in both single thread IPC (with the 15% IPC increase w/ Ryzen 3000 series), multi thread performance, price, security, and power efficiency for desktop and server processors for the near term future. Intel needs both the node change + core redesign for SMT security to even be competitive and their current road-map they are at least a couple of years out before both of those happen.
