That's not cheating.
There are two problems here.
The first problem is that AMD does not provide versions of those libraries tuned for AMD hardware. The investment of AMD into software for their hardware is close to zero, and without software, hardware is irrelevant. AMD has this problem when competing against nvidia in the GPU space, and against intel in the CPU space.
The second problem is that buyers of AMD products demand that Intel would release their software optimized for AMD products as well, which is just nonsensical. First, Intel is not required to do this and have no reason to do so - if this software doesn't work for your hardware, either buy Intel, or use something else. Second, these people don't expect AMD to provide these libraries, and aren't willing to provide them themselves, so... combined with AMD culture of not investing in software, nothing will happen.
That link is 10 years old, but these issues are at least 10 years older. That is, AMD has had 20 years to fix this, and nothing has happened.
I mean, this might sound like captain obvious, but Intel and Nvidia have super good profilers for their hardware (VTune and Nsight). AMD provides uProf, which sucks, so if that is what their engineers are using for their libraries, it isn't a surprise that they don't perform good.
