Never bought an Intel CPU after learning about their illegal anti-competetive deals with OEMs. It's been probably 15 years with AMD CPUs.
Happy to see AMD on top once again.
- scotty79 7y agoNever bought Intel CPU for a desktop after Pentium 133MHz that powered my first PC. I always considered Intel for my builds but AMD always came out as best bang for buck in my price range in the end and I had no way of justifying use of Intel CPU.
- beatgammit 7y agoI bought one in my last laptop, by that was over 5 years ago. There just hasn't a good selection of decent AMD-based laptops out there, though that situation is finally getting better (excited about Lenovo offering AMD-based Thinkpad T-series, though I'll probably buy an A or E series for now). In fact, I think the only time I've purchased Intel has been for laptops (except renting through VPS providers). If you don't particularly care about power, they've dominated the low end for years, and now with Ryzen, they're dominating pretty much everything including power (provided you need something more than Intel graphics). I'm excited for real competition vs Intel on power from AMD, and I hope this little boost helps them continue to compete when Intel eventually catches up.
