    I thought about buying a framework 12 for kicks but it’s Intel only and for that reason I’m oooout.

      That’s the reason why I bought a 13 despite coming from multiple touch-screen laptops

      Intel’s laptop CPUs were never bad tho? Is it just a solidarity thing because of the 13th and 14th gen processors frying themselves?

        AMD fucks Intel hard since the birth of Ryzen CPUs, AMD Ryzen CPUs are more power efficient than intel which is ideal for laptops and Ryzen CPUs are a bit cheaper than with intel, also Ryzen iGPUs are more powerful than intel which is bonus

        They’re power hungry for about the same performance as AMD. At least the i-series

        Buying anything that isn’t an x3D CPU at this point is abject stupidity.

        Intel CPUs might as well be worthless piles of sand. Hotter slower and higher battery usage.

        As far as laptops are concerned Intel has not a single sku worth the sand it’s made of.

        Eh, we all have opinions. I bought two frameworks last year, both AMD, and they’re notably faster and better at basic gaming than the intels I had from a previous generation (2019). The core i7 I had in my Dell also became very slower as they fixed various issues due to vulnerabilities caused by their bad engineering. As far as I know the equivalent AMD issues were neither as widespread nor as severe in nature, and the fixes didn’t stack up performance losses the way they did on Intel chips.
