AMD is still a bit of an underdog valued at a fraction of Intel. People like rooting for the underdog.
Second to this, is competition is important and having competitive products tends to bring pricing down to what is probably closer to optimale.
Aside: I've thought for a long time, that if medications had a dual-sourcing requirement it would help a lot.
- fermienrico 7y agoIf "rooting for the underdog" means becoming deeply viled, callous and irrational when facing facts, I don't think that's a good thing.
- tracker1 7y agoThat cuts both ways... there are definitely Intel fans that will excuse everything Intel is/has ever done that isn't above board. I was only stating part of why someone might favor for AMD strongly, without going into the irrational, which you seem to be focusing on here. Right now, AMD is largely better at every price bracket and in general has done better in terms of security and long-term support (don't have to by a new motherboard every year if you want to upgrade).
