Intel - Anti-Competitive, Anti-Consumer, Anti-Technology.

I watched this video yesterday, and it seems to explain a lot about how Intel has been less focused on building better technology in the last 10-15 years: [VIDEO] I'm not sure how balanced the viewpoint in the video is, but the author comes up with a lot of references.

This is a very good overview of bad anti-consumer practices Intel has done throughout the last 30 years: [VIDEO]

I'm not sure what you mean. From the time AMD released the K7 'Athlon' CPU, until the time Intel released Core2, AMD was king of performance. That's a long spawn of time. To understand why Intel kept selling CPUs like pancakes despite this, check this out: [VIDEO]

I assume you mean Linus from YouTubes "Linus Tech Tips", and not Linus Torvalds. Surprised you wouldn't clarify that considering what website this is. Considering Intel's history, I wouldn't bet they direct their efforts based on a YouTube reviewer. Also, considering Intels very anti-competitive behavior (e.g [0], [1], [2]), I am wary of stating Intel entering the DDR industry will make it any less corrupt. [0]: [LINK] [1]: [LINK] [2]: [VIDEO]

>AMD failed to capture the market despite making tremendous gains and legitimizing itself. Because Intel played dirty and illegal[0]. [0]: [VIDEO]

I'd still just buy the AMD gpu. Mature drivers, and better tested alongside AMD cpus. Also, I never liked Intel[0]. 0. [VIDEO]
