Intel has been getting shit on for a few years now. I checked the company rankings based on market value and AMD 67th while Intel ranks 73rd which I found to be rather surprising. I never realized things had changed this much. It is primarily due to similar quality with AMD being more budget friendly from what I can gather. Do you guys think AMD has finally beat Intel in the long run?
Is AMD undeniably better than Intel now?

Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.

I only buy Intel but that's out of habit tbh. The .0000000000001 milliseconds difference in speed won't do anything for me. I'm more about needing lots of memory cuz I like to have 2935702875 chrome windows open along with VS, Word, and whatever else open.

Intel does most of their R&D here so I hear from people who work there sometimes. Apparently they're really fricking incompetent and poorly managed, probably because they were so far out ahead of everyone else in the 1990s-2000s that they didn't feel the pressure of competition.

Yeah, my latest PC build is AMD and I've been an Intel guy since the 90s. AMD is just way better in terms of performance-per-dollar.

I’ve historically always supported AMD because I was either poor or cheap and there used to be issues with GPU compatibility and definite trade offs in performance for that cheaper price tag.
Now I’m running a full AMD build (r7 5800 and a radeon 5700xt) and it’s just such a great machine - stable and everything I toss at it runs great no issues with compatibility and no shaky GPU drivers anymore.

Wouldn't use market cap, Intel and AMD aren't identical. Intel has a huge foothold in enterprise processers while AMD rebounding on consumer processers and have the preferred GPU's for crypto mining.

tier comments. It's only been like 2 years since AMD caught up with Intel performance wise, after almost a decade of producing dogshit, and they've been priced worse for the best part of say last year. AMD will almost certainly pull ahead with next gen, then Intel will catch up or leapfrog them.... AMD has basically managed to catch up with Intel and almost caught up with Nvidia but they aren't better than either.

I probably don't have the timeline exactly right, but wasn't AMD better than Intel quality and price-wise in the 2000s, then they stumbled a little and Intel gained ground for a few years? But, now AMD is back, baby

they have gone back and forth since the 90's, I don't think AMD held this much of a lead since AMD64 vs P4, but then out came Core 2 so just because Intel has slipped doesn't mean they are out

Same reason we haven't gotten any good movies lately: over reliance on a-b testing and following it trends (usually too late) rather than taking a risk and innovating.

I just built a new pc with a 12900K iirc. It wasn't reasonably priced at all. But for the money I was willing to spend there wasn't a AMD chip competitive besides the threadripper which was more money and waaaaay more power. I'd prefer to go amd so instead of Intel management engine it's the Chinese getting peepee pics. Whatever.
