I'm not in the market for a new computer but will definitely avoid Intel.

Even if Intel wasn't morally bankrupt, I still wouldn't buy them cause their CPUs have terrible performance/price, terrible performance/watt and are plagued with tons of security issues. The only reason Intel is still able to sell them is because they bribe manufacturers to exclusively use Intel and because the average person doesn't know any better.

Intel being plagued with massive hardware exploits? Check.

Intel having terrible performance per watt? Check.

Intel bribing manufacturers to exclusively use Intel? Check.

Intel cooperating with a genocidal fascist regime? Check.

Yeah, I don't recommend AMD and Apple Silicon because I'm an AMD or Apple fan but because Intel is the most god awful option available.
