ya no thanks, im happy to allow them to stay in business to keep intel from being hit with antitrust but youd have to pay me significant amounts of money use to amd anything r now
tho tbf i really hope their new chip actually is good bc then intel will sigh and begrudgingly release a new line of chips based off whatever technology they already had from 10 years ago that theyve just been sitting on due to lack of competition

Yeah, I've never had a genuinely good experience with AMD in terms of performance - they're okay for cheap gaming rigs, but when it comes to any real computational horsepower they're severely behind Intel in terms of strong performance.
The FX lineup was so ****ing bad, like shockingly bad. Intel's chips are just straight up better, and their lineup of available CPUs will put most AMD chips to shame in terms of actual performance, plus they've got a wide enough range that you can either get a good chip at a good price and overclock it if you want to squeeze a little more out of it.
