    Yeah, I avoid most of that nonsense. Even the humor sites annoy me more than anything.

    /r/technology is perhaps my least favorite, and the Lemmy alternatives are a bit better imo (though a little too focused on Elon Musk).

      If you really want to have some fun, when an Intel CPU is out preforming an AMD one on the charts go and mention that in a thread related to CPU performance. I’m fairly sure you’ll be talking to people paid with AMD money to astroturf the shit out of Reddit who will make up every excuse they can about the situation.

        Intel CPU do outperform AMD in several workloads, but on the top end, AMD seems to have the efficiency advantage.

        If AMD lost in some, they outperformed in many more metrics by large enough margins.

        This trend was true in past 2 gens (price and efficiency advantage with an overall perf advantage in power limited scenarios). Nothing to astroturf about it.

        The weird part would be if someone is comparing a zen2 with 14gen and still sticking with AMD for “some reason”

          I have similar gen Intel and AMD, the Intel chip annihilates the AMD one for bursty workloads, AMD eats Intel at everything else though (power draw especially).
