The question I ask myself is: Has either producer used
illegal anticompetitive tactics in its business and as
such should be shunned at all costs:
AMD not that I'm aware of
Intel Yes
so even for a large price differential ( and I think
AMD tends to work out as a slightly better bang for
buck) I'd buy AMD. I'd prefer to by ARM for power
reasons but until I can find one of these
