Well, looks like PC I build in the future will feature AMD chips.
I've been on AMD CPUs for all my recent PCs, generally cheaper and just as good.
I left intel once Ryzen came out and reviewed well, since their motherboards were going to be supported for multiple generations. It paid off since after a CPU upgrade I don't see myself upgrading until the next gen consoles come out and drive up system requirements. Which won't be for a few years.
I've been looking at building a new pc for my wife, and unless I've completely misunderstood everything, Intel's newest CPUs don't really seem that good anyway.
You understand it fine.
Intel thought they could get away with their usual MO of "make a leap forward in technology and slowly meter it out over time" forever. Now that we're running into physics limitations, AMD has fully caught up and even sprinted past Intel for certain workloads.
I used to prefer Intel+nvidia for pc builds, but when the last generation of the Core lineup fell a bit flat I built a Ryzen+Radeon setup that's been kicking ass for years.
I'm content to just let Intel hang themselves with their own rope.
Anandtech had a great saying:
Performance wise, Intel CPUs were just fine at the right price, no matter what manufacturing drama is going on. Don’t get me wrong, all my recent CPU purchases have been AMD, but not because of brand loyalty or anything; it’s because they were on sale and great for the price.
