I can’t be the only one that was looking at buying a 14900K, saw the Intel news, and then started pricing out an AMD build.

My next board and all for the foreseeable future will be AMD. I’m only rocking a 13600K right now and I haven’t had any issues, but the last bios update I did specifically to get the first microcode update wiped my GPU drivers, and the gigabyte update platform installed Norton and some other network monitoring software without my consent.

In a civilized society, a product that is defective would be replaced with a working model or refunded. I feel like it’s way too “geeky” a topic for most people to care. Like, try to imagine how many laptops and pre-fabs, not to mention OEMs, that got moved in the 13th and 14th gens of CPUs. Yeah, we know we fucked up and fried your CPU, rendering it nowhere near the performance we promised it would be at. Fuck you anyway.

I’m glad I went with AMD for my custom PC and my laptop.
