Could you tell us what are they based on? My ones are on security and control.

  Without knowing or caring about ME or PSP, perhaps they mean the behavior of AMD the company vs. Intel the company. I am an AMD man as often as possible for this reason.

      And you don't control this embedded computer in any way and it had access to everything. I mean, Intel ME would actually be useful if we could log on to it and install (and remove!) software or even change out its OS.

  One example for me is Linux support in the GPU wars. Nvidia has been very hostile to Linux compared to AMD, so philosophically (for now), I’ll prefer AMD for my platform despite Nvidia offering a better GPU. Not as big a deal with Intel, but I like encouraging what I see as good behavior. AMD market share isn’t anywhere near Intel either, so I also like putting my money on the “underdog” to keep the competition going.

    But Intel has better driver support than either for its integrated graphics. A lot of people hate on Intel but they are actually friendly to open source in some important ways too. As with many companies their size it's definitely a mixed bag. They also are the only American fab left. I am glad AMD/TSMC is competitive but there's something to be said for supporting Intel to prevent a TSMC monopoly.

  Not OP, but I prefer AMD nowadays because they're the underdog and we could use more competition. Of late they also started releasing great products, making it even easier for me to prefer them. If they ever outgrow Intel by a good margin, I'll switch back to Intel. It's not like the choice of the CPU matters all that much. I just want them to work harder for my money.
