A micro-benchmark that tests integer division simply isn't that useful. No serious number crunching app relies on that, precisely because integer division is known to be a slow operation across all different kinds of cpu architectures. The cpu designers just have to create something that's good enough that people won't notice it in the general application case, and it's largely not optimized heavily by anyone.
Something like SpecInt is still flawed and synthetic, but a much more useful and realistic comparison than a simple micro-benchmark will be. As you can see from the link below, AMD's 3700x is roughly competitive with the 9900k in single-thread performance, at least with the newer tests. Some of the older ones tend to still favor Intel. The 1st gen Ryzen is way behind.
