oh btw Tai, I realized I missed your AMD line comment.
I'm well aware that AMD sucks too, but this is not my point I tried to make. The point is that AMD
looks good (for other reasons), compared to Intel right now. If Intel wants to fight back, they
could for starters try stop appearing so... well.. "evil" or needlessly and overly
"greedy" beyond reason.
If you really need a *brand new* x86-64 CPU then yes AMD is a better
company, a few thousand people on reddit was enough to get executive
level attention about PSP and they somewhat entertained the idea of
providing a way to truly disable it or offer CPU's without it - not that
they did but even google can't get intels attention like that.
For now however a Socket G34 6328/6386SE is more than good enough for
just about anything.
AMD is a much smaller company with a much smaller market share.
So I'm not saying AMD is any better, it's just that AMD can be used, like a
tool, to fuck Intel up enough, to force Intel's hand to do something good
(hopefully). Question is, will enough people do it, in orcer to force Intel's
hand. And if enough do it, then its probably not for this reason. But
nontheless, whatever little helps to send Intel a clear signal that they need
to behave to regain any love.
Intel is too big of a company for anyone to make an impact short of a
nation state deciding to no longer buy their products for its
governmental computers which would actually be a really smart idea
(however none have done so)
