> But over two years, what would the extra $200 get you in terms of CPU options?

It gets you to do the math.

The $100 estimate was based on a scenario where the AMD product ran 100W hotter and ran all year long with a heavy workload.

In reality, the comparable offer from Intel runs only 10W hotter, and a normal workload, at best, only costs some cents per year.

After all those years saving money going with the best and cheaper offering from AMD, the money you save gets you more cash to upgrade your computer.

Because economic matter.
