Really? I’ve been told by all my dudes into hardware that AMD is where it’s at for value. Plus, Intel has manufacturing issues. I’m sure there’s good deal out there if you look, but I feel dissonance between this article and what I hear in my circle.
The core of the article is in the first paragraph:
It’s been eight years since AMD launched its first-gen Ryzen processors and it’s incredible how far we’ve come. But while AMD might be the king of gaming CPUs now, you shouldn’t dismiss Intel just yet.
So, yeah, AMD is clearly the king, but you may find good deal for some store having an unsold Intel inventory stock too high. Also with AMD raising the price of the GPUs should remind us to not let companies overconfident over their customers.
I can say in general that AMD chips are overwhelmingly superior, but there are exceptions.
Tho…you can find AMD Ryzen 5 5500 also below the “100 bucks” quota.
The article is probably not wrong pointing out the price at this point for Intel. However, at least am5 side (maybe am4? Amd refuses to let am4 die) there will be more CPUs releasing. Meaning, you will have to spend a lot less to jump to a newer CPU (while the rest stays. The boards will probably need a bios update, but that’s it).
For this to be actually good to go with Intel, the motherboard would have to be almost no cost via bundles or something (good price, offering boards outright would be amazing but very unlikely).
