“Choose Intel because it’s cheaper than AMD” is one of those arguments that make you realise how quickly the world changes.
- dwohnitmok 6y agoThe whole situation is a kind of surreal 180-degree turn of what things looked like 5+ years ago and a testament to how far AMD has come. "Yeah go with Intel if you don't need top performance because the CPUs offer more[0], but slower cores, albeit with much higher power draw and a decent-enough integrated GPU at a cheaper price point." Are you sure we're not talking about early 2010s era AMD APUs? [0]: There are as many caveats here as there were 10 years ago for AMD.
- redisman 6y agoIt does make sense though given that they’re still cashing in on their mature process when AMD is in the TSMC 7nm bidding war
