If might have been if AMD were opening up and Intel weren't.
EDIT to expand a bit since some people seem to be missing the point: hypothetically, GP might have preferred Intel on narrow technical criteria, but have been willing to override that preference for the sake of transparency. No transparency difference, no reason to override.
- zdkl 9y agoWell in this line of thought at least now there's a chance competition will set either/both on that path. Fwiw I'm not ready to use open-ish ARM/POWER exclusively, but AMD/Intel'll have to contend with that soon(tm) [Answer to parents EDIT] I'd argue the effective technical difference set between AMD & Intel is growing ever narrower, and aside from brand fidelity there is very little reason for a consumer to have non-moral preferences to one or the other manufacturer.
