A few years ago, if you said you buy AMD, people would think you are hallucinating, but now it looks like it's the only reliable vendor for x64. Intel was once the king of reliability, but in the last years, it looks like the king of bugs.



That was around 6-7 years ago at this point. Personally, every AMD machine I've had since then was very stable on Linux with an NVDA gpu. My latest one, an intel + NVDA, had issues under virtually all linux distros I had tried.

Now that I don't need CUDA anymore I might consider going full team red.


I would say that the AMD preferability came along with Meltdown

I always bought AMD. You have to look at the (actual) numbers.

AMD was looking bad in some benchmarks due to the icc issue but the price was just better.

Intel has (had) some good stuff, but it was very expensive.


x64 or x86_64 or AMD64?
