    Intel spend 100 billion dollar buying back their stock over last 15 year.,

    Taxpayers will give them about 35 bullion dollars in various transfers from the treasury.

    We pay for this every single time, there is no way to them to lose under such system.

    I’m just glad I lived to see Intel go from the leading semiconductor manufacturer to a joke. Sometimes it seems a dominant entity will forever be, but as always history happens and doesn’t end.

    Have Hardware unboxed ever recommended anything Intel?

    It’s not quite a shock to hear them be critical of Intel vs. Gamers Nexus and Level1Techs, I swear HUB would have recommended AMD in the Bulldozer days…

      Until recently they were recommending Intel CPUs over AMD at the low end, saying they provided better value for money in that segment. And they used to recommend Intel processors for gaming, back when they had the gaming crown.

        That’s because AMD hasn’t made a serious entry in the budget space since 2021. Until they release the Ryzen 3 8300 the only modern low end CPUs are made by Intel.
