Look it up. The latest generation of Intel chips have incredibly egregious issues.

If you think you’re owning the Chinese by supporting Intel, you’re very misguided. Instead, you should be hoping for RISC-V to catch on because closed architectures are vastly more vulnerable to exploitation. They represent an unknown tech stack which is a no-no for anyone who actually values freedom, privacy, and liberty. They also cost tens of millions to create while RISC-V costs significantly less since it doesn’t require a company to buy a million dollar license to build on a closed architecture.

The architecture being open source or not has nothing to do with security. All high performance risc-v cpu designs are proprietary. The instruction set itself is open source, but beyond that you have as much visibility into the internals of the processor as you would with an Intel one. The only thing the license impacts is that you can legally make your own risc-v processor if you want, whereas tou can’t make your own x86 processor if you want (legally).

Thanks for setting me straight. I’ll still be pushing the idea of RISC-V.

Plus Intel supports Apartheid Israel. Both the company and their tech don't support freedom, privacy, or liberty

Buddy. Their a processor company. They sell computational processors. At what point do you blame water companies for supporting Israel for supplying Israel water. Calm down.

They are the largest tech employer in Israel

Because they could invest that money anywhere besides an Apartheid State committing genocide

In 2020, Intel was indirectly employing some 53,000 workers in Israel, and in 2022 Intel Israel declared record exports of $8.7 billion, constituting 1.75% of Israel’s entire GDP and 5.5% of all Israeli tech exports.

Intel’s declared goal from this investment, to “ensure that Israel remains a global center of semiconductor technology and talent,” is politically and ideologically driven. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has paid over 100 visits to Israel, and considers Intel’s business in Israel “deeply personal” to him.

In comparison, Intel has suspended plans to invest $20 billion in new chipmaking facilities in Ohio (US), driving jobs away from the US to apartheid Israel.

Plus, Israel steals their water from the Palestinian people

Legitimately back when I chose my CPU and I was debating between the Intel i9 14900K and the AMD 7950x3D, my final decision to go with AMD came down to this because at the time their specs seemed almost identical. And based on the more recent news about the 14 series, I absolutely made the right decision! 🇵🇸

No, I get that. The statement from them makes it seem like retaliation for Huawei being banned in the US though. They have their own shitty x86 chips they apparently don't seem psyched to use instead as well.
