    I was being half snarky and mostly joking.

    Intel has a lot of things going for it. In the consumer/enthusiast space I’d argue they have the better portfolio.

    5600g
    5800x3D
    7800x
    7800x3D
    7900x
    7950x
    7950x3D
    EPYC parts with crazy core counts.

    There’s definitely some good promos for intel parts (think 12900k + board +32GB RAM at microcenter for $400) but there’s more exciting things from AMD on the whole right now.

        That’s because a lot of the volume comes from OEM deals.
        My best guess is that Intel just does a better job of serving OEMs from a business perspective. This includes thunderbolt as a competitive advantage (though USB4 will evaporate that)

        Also laptops… For low power things Intel still does VERY well. Alderlake isn’t bad at low power levels.
