Maybe I missed something in your comment, but how did you come up with 5x?
$52,044 / $13,011 = 4.000000000
If instead, I use the numbers from the article, you get:
Intel: $52,044
AMD: $13,900
Which comes out to 3.74x.
If you normalize for performance, then yeah, you get 4.86x. But that doesn’t match up with your numbers ($13,900 vs $13,011). So was it a typo, or are you doing something different?
