Isn't the problem that companies have plenty of products with Intel chips that nobody wants and they just don't want to go bankrupt so they use different tactics to manipulate consumer into buying such product?
I am looking for a laptop with the new Ryzen and it is very difficult. It seems like companies do their best to make it hard to find any of their product with AMD inside and Intel is all over the place.
I am not sure if they realise how this damages their image? Why a consumer would buy a machine with reheated vintage Intel CPU that is already obsolete when it leaves the store new?
- stevehawk 6y agothe problem is.. it's intel.. and they've lost multiple court battles showing that they used illegal/protective contracts in the forms of rebates/discounts/kickbacks to block out AMD from the market. And this is likely a continuation of that. This isn't just Alienware pushing one over another, they're actively making one look bad / less attractive.
