In the meantime, there's even less reason to pick Intel now. They
haven't really been the 'best' or most cost-efficient processors for a
while, but they were often the 'safe' choice compared to AMD; you knew
that if it was x86/x64 code, it would run on Intel, and the company
had a reputation for stability and reliability. Certainly the 1994
Pentium FDiv bug --where Intel replaced every affected Pentium-60
free-of-charge-- cast a long shadow on the industry, suggesting that
Intel would stand by their products if there was a problem with them.
Obviously, 2024 Intel is not the same company.
TL;DR: there's absolutely no reason to ever choose Intel anymore.
Meanwhile my Ryzen 2700x is still chugging along like a fine work horse...
