Intel is the best CPU manufacturing company in the world and one of the best. But now Samsung, with their SSD, is competing very highly with Intel. The Exynos series are getting highly competitive with Intel's CPU. 

Samsung is also very famous on SSD. The new 950 Pro and 850 Evo seems very good. But Intel's 750s seems great.

so...Which is better? Linus! Please do a reiew on comparing both Samsung CPUs and SSDs with Intel's!!

Samsung don't make x86 CPUs, so the only place to compare them would be on mobiles, which is very vague due to different specifications. SSDs can be compared, but not CPUs.

There's a reason Samsung Evo's haven't had competition for a long time, Linus already said this on a Wan show, intel and samsung both manufacture their ssd's from scratch to finish, 
they both are equally good. anything said other wise would be just plain preference.

In terms of SSD's, they're probably about the same overall. Samsung's SM951 gave the Intel 750 a run for its money, all while consuming half the power, and being based off of their old 2D planar NAND. The 950 Pro is almost certainly going to be faster.

Intel is probably preferred because they validate everything.

 

Samsung doesn't do x86 CPUs, so they're not very comparable to Intel's stuff.

Samsung 950 pro skews are all faster than the Intel counterparts running nvme, I think it's just due to being on 3d v nand, but what do I know I'm no engineer when it comes to PC parts...

How do you compare Exynos and Atom? Or neither to any other mobile chip? All reviewers that I've seen to post benchmarks say that OS optimization has really big impact.

On SSDs I would get Intel. No offense to Samsung fanboys, but to me they are slowly becoming Corsair of SSDs. Cheap and "quality" stuff for masses.

Biggest load of rubbish I have yet to read on this forum (and thats saying alot)

You have your opinion and I have mine. I dislike Corsair in general and I wouldn't take Samsung SSD on my rig. Maybe if it was free.
