    Intel has not halted sales or clawed back any inventory. It will not do a recall, period.

    Buy AMD. Got it!

      I’ve been buying AMD for – holy shit – 25 years now, and have never once regretted it. I don’t consider myself a fanboi; I just (a) prefer having the best performance-per-dollar rather than best performance outright, and (b) like rooting for the underdog.

      But if Intel keeps fucking up like this, I might have to switch on grounds of (b)!

      spoiler

      (Realistically I’d be more likely to switch to ARM or even RISCV, though. Even if Intel became an underdog, my memory of their anti-competitive and anti-consumer bad behavior remains long.)
