Next Time You Buy A CPU Will It Be AMD Or Intel

[WkdPaul]

Depends on what I need, what's available and the price vs performances.

 

Could be either (not going to change for a few years).

[Hairless Monkey Boy]

Where is the option for "Yes"?

[Haro]

Depends on what current gen cpu's will be from both brands and workload. 

[OfficialTechSpace]

I don't even know how good Zen 3 from AMD is going to perform, I just know that it's going to be better than Zen 2, and I would like to upgrade from my R5 3600.

If future Intel desktop CPUs keep using 14nm+++++

[BlueChinchillaEatingDorito]

I'll most likely go for Intel as I want something that is totally reliable. If that costs me a few extra bucks, so be it. 

[Dujith]

Whatever is best price wise / performance. Tbh i feel this a very limited poll and should be edited or changed.

[Drama Lama]

It completely depends on the cpu type I want ( corecount clocks ...) and the pricing

How do you think I should edit it?

[VeganJoy]

wheres the option for people who make intelligent, fact-based decisions based solely on an individual product's merits and not on arbitrary traits?

Welcome to the land of Meltdown, Spectre, Zombieload......and Intel security bugs of the week.

Add an option for "Yes". As in, Yes, I will be buying AMD or Intel for my next CPU.

 

Or turnip.

I added an either option

[Skiiwee29]

Probably wont be until 2022 when I upgrade my system. Will depend on what gives me what I need/want then in terms of price, performance etc. Zero brand loyalty.

Thanks, that was my choice (as you can see from my earlier reply!  )

[KaitouX]

I will just buy what is the best for my use case regardless of brand, if both have similar offerings for the same price I would favor AMD.

Realistically, my next CPU is probably going to be AMD, because i would like a nice efficient 16 core CPU hopefully for $350 or so in the next few years and at this point Intel seems pretty far away from being able to realize that, while on AMD side they already got the CPU, just need to drop the price.

Where's my Via option at?

It's really difficult to take advantage of those exploits in a realistic situation (it's in THEORY), and it doesn't affect most consumers/enterprises at all. Stop the "AMD good" "Intel bad" pathetic claims/AMD fanboying. TBH if i don't NEED PCIe GEN4, i would still go Intel for enterprise because according to what I've seen Intel is simply plain better in that territory. AMD still has a whole lot to improve there.  However in the consumer space i would definitely go ryzen for the amazing value and feature set. And for a point AMD isn't "THAT" consumer friendly after all, what made Intel act like this is that there was simply no competition, no alternative. I simply have no brand loyalty whatsoever and i just buy what suits my needs at the best price.

Where did I say "Intel bad" "AMD good"?
