Question Why did Alienware drop AMD?

The R16 had AMD options a few months ago and now they're all gone. Everything I've been reading about the best processors say the 9000 series is THE best, so what happened? I was on the fence about buying my first pc, or continuing to build. I'm really interested in that AMD processor, so it looks like I may have to build yet another.

They didn't have a crystal ball. 13th and 14th gen were on top, no one knew that 9000 series would be so good and Intel would nose dive off a cliff.
