Hell, Intel has lost my confidence they can even fucking fab a CPU correctly at this point, never mind anything else.

I'm almost exclusively AMD based at this point despite them being less than uh, reliable (see: the year long fight I've had with my 7700x being unstable which was only resolved, amusingly, by jacking up the voltage). Also, my 1700x was hilariously awful, but I'm willing to shrug and call that new architecture woes and not be too judgy about that one.

I'm reservedly enthusiastic for Qualcomm's entry (for like the 4th time) into desktop processors, and hope that this time they can keep improving performance, and actaully support things for more than five damn minutes before going 'welp only supporting new cpu!' like they do with their mobile ones. Also if they actually live up to their promises to provide full driver support and support parity to the Linux kernel so you can get rid of Windows on them.
