Really? I’ve been told by all my dudes into hardware that AMD is where it’s at for value. Plus, Intel has manufacturing issues. I’m sure there’s good deal out there if you look, but I feel dissonance between this article and what I hear in my circle.

The core of the article is in the first paragraph:

It’s been eight years since AMD launched its first-gen Ryzen processors and it’s incredible how far we’ve come. But while AMD might be the king of gaming CPUs now, you shouldn’t dismiss Intel just yet.

So, yeah, AMD is clearly the king, but you may find good deal for some store having an unsold Intel inventory stock too high. Also with AMD raising the price of the GPUs should remind us to not let companies overconfident over their customers.

I can say in general that AMD chips are overwhelmingly superior, but there are exceptions.
