It always blows me away to see so much brand loyalty about cpus.
I really couldn't care less what architecture my chips are, or who fabricates them. All I care about is price and performance.
I write application software, the underlying hardware is pretty irrelevant to me and most of my peers too.
I think that as we lost national sources of pride and community structures at a local level, people transferred their loyalties to brands. LETS RISE ABOVE!
- robertlagrant 6y agoI haven't really seen any brand loyalty here so far.

This is a phenomenon that goes beyond tech. Personally I have always rooted for AMD as the underdog and because Intel was the Goliath that held back CPU performance so it could squeeze more dollars out of consumers.
