Im glad i went with amd am5

Considered getting 12/13th gen i5 1X400 chip...

But the no upgrade path after 14th gen made me reconsidered.

Intel's current problems are alot more serious than the teething problems AMD had with Ryzen. The early Ryzens had memory incompatibility/instability with took some bios updates to resolve. The 5000 series had the USB dropout issue. Now Intel probably has more memory incompatibility/instability issues than Ryzen putting aside the problems with voltage/power.

Someone at chiphell took the time to organise testing of hundreds of intel 13/14th gen cpus and found very poor stability at auto out of the box settings. If 5/10 13th gen and 2/10 14th gen managed to pass, its a clear sign that its complete garbage and not just a few bad apples.

Performance takes a hit as expected with Intels baseline bios fix - "This is reported to be up to -30% in multi-threaded applications and up to -15% in games which is quite big".
Hardware unboxed ran gaming benchmarks with the new bios fix and the performance hit was 10%-20%. IIRC 20% was the perf hit for low 1% fps.

And then you have to consider Intel's current issues with the Meltdown bug. The last downfall patch supposedly had a big performance hit on older cpus, up to 39%.

amd one was do or die... since it burn out.
inhell gonna affect for life..

AMD burnt CPU is because OC
Intel stock setting

dont you see the difference?
