maybe it is just hard. amd isnt shipping clearly better stuff either.

show me what amd chip performs better instead of just downvoting.

performance benchmarks go out the window once you realize that a platform is woefully and unfixably insecure.

performance benchmarks mean even less when those security issues are band-aided by performance metric-hurting-workarounds.

If I buy 100k chips for my HPC to do single-tenant processing, performance, and performance/watt are priority one. The vulnerabilities intel has to fight right now are irrelevant for this use case.

amd isn’t immune to side channel attacks either. the most recent one we think amd is immune to but i wouldn’t assume in the long run that amd will generally prove to be more resistant to them than intel.
