    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

      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.

      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.

        thats fair if u are looking for the cheapest laptops basically nothing is amd, also i bet most people dont know what those powered by x stickers even mean nor care and honestly why should they. i didnt consider that, i was more thinking about people making their own pcs but it is also wierd that laptop manufacturers and oems prefer intel so much maybe efficiency is the biggest factor i know amds cpus tend to be more power hungry
