Intel has not halted sales or clawed back any inventory. It will not do a recall, period.

Buy AMD. Got it!

I've been buying AMD for -- holy shit -- 25 years now, and have never once regretted it. I don't consider myself a fanboi; I just (a) prefer having the best performance-per-dollar rather than best performance outright, and (b) like rooting for the underdog.

But if Intel keeps fucking up like this, I might have to switch on grounds of (b)!

spoiler


(Realistically I'd be more likely to switch to ARM or even RISCV, though. Even if Intel became an underdog, my memory of their anti-competitive and anti-consumer bad behavior remains long.)

Same here. I hate Intel so much, I won't even work there, despite it being my current industry and having been headhunted by their recruiter. It was so satisfying to tell them to go pound sand.

It's good to feel proud of where you work. I'm not too sure on whether or not Intel treats their workers good though, do they?

I did not sign with them after I had some issues with the contract provided, and the resulting interactions with my future manager. I'd say at least for someone from Europe the company culture is less than ideal from that encounter.

I can see it might appear that way if you have no knowledge or experience with recruitment or recruiters. It's especially common in my field as it can be hard to get qualified people.
