I'm rooting for AMD. Their 3D architecture was brilliant for desktops. Re intel, I've followed this quite a bit. The intel problem is important enough to wipe out their stock, letting 18,000 ppl go and extending their warranty to two years. The PR side of things is truly awful. I wouldn't quote Toms hardware on this... This is a full account https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6vQlvefGxk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6vQlvefGxk

A lot of people root for AMD. I heard recently the Internet in general loves AMD and gives the company a lot of good will even through their failures or their products are somewhat inferior. Maybe it's because they posed themselves as selling products for the people, more competitive prices, support for open source operating systems and so on. Or maybe just because they were the underdog in the industry.

  AMD CPUs are currently clearly superior to Intel, across the board. AMD consumer GPUs are substantially inferior to NVidia, and can only sell at such low prices that AMD has trouble getting any margins from them. Hopefully they have better products next gen, NV really needs competition.

    AMD CPUs aren't superior in power consumption on a mostly idling desktop, and also not in single-core performance. Use them if high multi-core workloads are your most important use case.

    There were loyal consumers even during the Piledriver era. Fine wine and all that.

  My issue with AMD is the difference between potential and having all the elements to realize that potential. It's on thing to have a great CPU (or GPU) design, but a company has to have all the platform around it working well and ideally at launch, plus developer support so end users can see the maximum benefit out of their purchase. One of the things I've noticed about the Ryzens is that it seems wise to wait a few months for a few AGESA updates to filter through, and another aspect is clamping down on motherboard manufacturers doing their own shenanigans when they want to boost benchmarks versus their competition

  It's the Intel's monopolistic behaviour for me personally.

    Yep. I've been around long enough to have seen Intel repeatedly demonstrate that without anyone pushing them forward they're happy to rest on their laurels. Competition here is better for everyone.

  People crap on AMD GPUs all the time. The reason why people praise AMD is that their CPUs are extremely competitive, performance wise. The CPUs are not inferior at all.

  All of this, but also a lot of it is stockholders hyping their bags. Like GameStop, but toned down a bit. It’s tough because it makes it a topic where I can’t take anyone at face value, and I have to default to distrust.
