im a fan of no corporation especially not fucking amd, but they have been so much better than intel recently that im struggling to understand why anyone still buys intel
Researchers discover potentially catastrophic exploit present in AMD chips for decades
They're both very flawed
Doesn’t seem very similar to me.
Sounds like some precious and sweet intelboi feels bad holding the bag...
Of all the CPU and GPU manufacturers out there, AMD is the most consistently pro-consumer with the least corporate fuckery, so I take mighty exception at your 'especially not fucking amd' comment.
What's so bad about AMD? They seem a lot better than Intel imo.
They are bad at writing software and firmware support is sketchy. That second point is technically the motherboard vendors fault but it could be due to confusing design and documentation on the AMD side. Hardware-wise they are great AFAIK.
Most of the shopping I've been helping people with lately has been for laptops. And while there are slightly more AMD options then before laptops are still dominated by Intel for the most part. Especially if you're trying to help someone pick something while on a tighter budget.
