    I think my main reason when I looked into things a while back was that Intel had the better single core speeds, but I’m not married to the idea. I’ll mostly be gaming and dabbling with local LLMs.

    But yeah, I also haven’t been a huge fan of Intel’s anti-consumer business practices. Maybe it’s time for an AMD system! Thanks!

      In the last few years, IMHO, single core performance has been irrelevant (for me personally and professionally).

      Almost everything can be parallelized, it’s just a bit harder to implement.

      I’ve found disk I/O to be the biggest bottleneck recently, PCIe 5.0 NVMe has done more for speed than an extra few MHz have in years.

        Thanks for the advice! I’ve been out of the game a long time, so the quick refresher was super helpful.
