What does this mean for developers buying laptops or workstations in the next year - is amd or raptor looking like a better choice, or is Intel still looking good even after the hit?

I'm reading that workstations might not need to worry for the most part for example, unless a package gets compromised or some browser exploit makes it through




I built a workstation with a Threadripper earlier this year, and I couldn't be happier so far. The single-core performance advantage of Intel parts isn't that big, and you get a ton of cores and PCIe lanes in exchange.
