I’m sorry, I was alluding to the general trend, not specifically inclined to your message although it appears so. Bad wording on my part.

  No problem. We're discussing stuff here. I also didn't want to sound angry or aggressive. I'm sorry if I did (English is not my native language). I also did root for AMD when I was younger however, in a more down-to-earth fashion. AMD was providing 90% of the performance of a comparable Intel system and, Intel was so dominating that AMD was at the brink of collapse. I rooted for AMD because I wanted them to survive. I wanted competition. I wanted to see more interesting ideas from more vendors. I also reacted to that infamous "AMD's thermal management doesn't work" video from Tom's Hardware because my and my friends' AMD systems' thermal management features were working fine. I rooted for AMD because they were more dynamic when compared to Intel. They allowed overclocking, experimenting. They had more chipset choices and some of these chipsets did interesting things that Intel was not daring to try. Intel was a company wearing suits even in weekends, while AMD was going to work putting on jeans and, it was exciting for young enthusiasts. AMD still has this in its gene though. They were kind and open enough to revise their GPU silicon to enable truly open source drivers sans HDCP. Their company culture is different and I root for the underdogs sometimes because, I root for competition.
