      It’s taken this long for Intel to lose gamer trust.

      Intel also have lower power consumption iirc, which is useful for laptops etc.

      AMD have the best server chips: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

      You have to remember that most people aren’t “choosing a CPU” as much as buying a PC. If the majority of pre-build retail PCs have Intel, then the majority of purchases will be Intel.

          That’s under load. At Idle (which is where your average home PC will spend most of it’s time) I think Intel has the edge still.

          It’s certainly a consideration for a battery device. Watching a video reading emails or staring at a spreadsheet will likely have better battery life than a similar spec AMD device.

          We’ve reached a point where most everyday computing tasks can be handled by a cheapo N100 mini PC.

            I would have to ask for a source on that. I can’t really find anything comparing many cpus.

            However this video compares top end models on otherwise pretty much identical laptops and amd definitely wins in YouTube playback on battery https://youtu.be/X_I8kPlHJ3M?si=8a4Tkmd556hQh7BZ

            But if you’ve got anything to better compare I’m all ears
