Yeah those should be flagged at scams automatically, way out of curve on price per TB. Yet sponsored dollars keep them around for the scammer whack a mole.

Desktops yes. I’ve had 2 gens of AM4 and went AM5 7900x with my latest. 5800x and 2 5600x boxes on AM4. Previously had been all Intel. Still run some Intel systems where it makes sense. Stand alone Plex box with a 10th gen because of Quicksync. No issues with AMD systems. GPUs can’t say the same. However it’s not like Intel is doing a bang up job there either.

Socket longevity and efficiency honestly were the tipping points. Intel seems to arbitrarily kick out new chipsets and sockets where they could have probably made a socket last. Prime examples socket 1151 100 and 200 series boards made to work with two generations newer chips. Specifications likely could have been beefed up to allow 4 generations to stick to a common socket.

Then there is the significant boost power draw of Intel chips. Sure some are faster in certain workloads, but they are power hungry to do it.
