Why still so much Intel?

Gamer's demands will never be fullfilled. I know a flight simulator freak, and the software, e.g. a whole friggin copy of the world, will just keep developing and demand more power ad infinitum. Apart from that: Which programs do the mainstream user need that Intel computers cannot cope with?

Small or not, they absolutely drive innovation in GPUs and CPUs because of the halo effect of having the biggest influencers on the planet spruiking your wares. After all, who is far and away the most famous YouTuber? If PewDiePie says something good about your CPU, tens of millions of people take notice.
Which is why OEMs make a range of processors, but those markets don't drive innovation like the gaming market does.Servers, government, schools, hospitals, offices and home users vastly outnumber the types of people who care about AMD.
Really? I don't recall Google ever loaning Apple money so they wouldn't go bankrupt.
No, it is pure bullshit. in very specific benchmarks, i.e. single threaded benchmarks, the M1 performs very well but in multi-threaded benchmarks, it is about on par with a 9th gen Core i5. A 10th Gen Core i7 or i9 will kick it's arse.
Who cares? Those are meaningless facts. I've never received a burn from my laptop so why would I care? It might be relevant if it meant an M1 mac was cheaper than an equivalent PC laptop but Apple hasn't taken the opportunity to reduce prices, they've instead chosen to increase their margin.It produces less heat, because it has dedicated low power cores and has a lower TDP. It is the first 5nm laptop processor.

M1 is mobile chip and should be compared to other mobile ones, so it outperforms every single Intel mobile processor on the market in both single and multi threaded performance.
Actually M1 cost roughly the same as non-retina AMD laptop with similar specs, Intel laptops that are comparable are much more expensive than both, hence why OP made this thread.It might be relevant if it meant an M1 mac was cheaper than an equivalent PC laptop but Apple hasn't taken the opportunity to reduce prices, they've instead chosen to increase their margin.

No I see you don't understand. Asking a question is not a proof, and what I am asking is of what concern AMD versus Intel is to the mainstream user since the OP asks "Is it because that's what most people want, simply because they are badly informed?". So I am asking why should they care in the first place, e.g. which programs should make them even think of switching to AMD? Is that really rocket-science to you?Passing Bye wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 8:34 am That's straw man, don't understand what are you even trying to prove with it?

You are asked to answer to that proposition not go in endless philosophical loop, why should people that don't care suddenly care, they shouldn't, now answer, does those people affect the market?TribeOfHǫfuð wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 9:18 amNo I see you don't understand.

Case is quite simple, practical and non-philosophical from where I stand:
Op asks whether people chose Intel computers "because that's what most people want, simply because they are badly informed?"
And I answer with a question: "Why should people even care about AMDs if their Intels do the jobs?" Have nothing to do with being uninformed. I am not going to give any other answer to a non sensical question. Has nothing to do with philosophical loops. If people need AMDs for whatever reason, they would probably go for them. It is like asking why people do not buy a faster car even if the ones they got are already reaching the speed limits.

Why would you only look at U Series CPUs when you can get desktop CPUs in laptops at reasonable prices? e.g. My Dell G7 has a 6 core desktop Core i7 in it and it only cost me US$1200, brand new with full warranty.Passing Bye wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 9:04 amM1 is mobile chip and should be compared to other mobile ones, so it outperforms every single Intel mobile processor on the market in both single and multi threaded performance.
No it doesn't, not even close. As I said, I have a considerably better specced Dell G7 that cost me Au$1680, brand new direct from Dell with a full warranty. To spec an M1 Air to a similar standard from Apple would be Au$2499. That's 40% more for a machine that won't perform as well and has a tiny screen. (I paid extra for a 17" form factor.) You just have to remember that nobody has to pay full retail price for a PC. It's kind of like Plugin Alliance - you just have to wait a few weeks for the one you want to go on sale or ask someone for a discount.Actually M1 cost roughly the same as non-retina AMD laptop with similar specs, Intel laptops that are comparable are much more expensive than both, hence why OP made this thread.

That's some failed analogy, people are buying new machines or new fast car, OP is wondering why they choose brand X over Y, why brand X have still monopoly over market and all that, you clearly are incapable of giving simple answer, like no, I don't think fair share of people who are buying look for getting best bang for the buck, I don't think brand Y established itself in the market, I think they are used to buying X and don't have reason to change, I think brands Y popularity is passing trend or brand X popularity is never ending trend and all that stuff that is actually contributing to his thread, instead of your constant irrelevant contribution and bickering.TribeOfHǫfuð wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 11:36 amWhat?

Sorry, but that Dell is outperformed by M1 and comparable AMD offering (like ROG Zephyrus G14), understand your need for bigger screen and all that, but if we are talking performance, M1/AMD takes the cake in both thermal and performance for the buck.BONES wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 12:13 pmWhy would you only look at U Series CPUs when you can get desktop CPUs in laptops at reasonable prices? e.g. My Dell G7 has a 6 core desktop Core i7 in it and it only cost me US$1200, brand new with full warranty.Passing Bye wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 9:04 amM1 is mobile chip and should be compared to other mobile ones, so it outperforms every single Intel mobile processor on the market in both single and multi threaded performance.No it doesn't, not even close.

Oh, the ironyPassing Bye wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 12:55 pm instead of your constant irrelevant contribution and bickering.
But do you think that people are using Intel because it doesn't do what they need?
If not, then re-read the previous post you were replying to. "Why should people even care about AMDs if their Intels do the jobs?" is questioning the premise that people need more power than they already have. For the most part, they don't. While that might not apply to certain niche markets, it certainly doesn't apply to the vast majority of the PC market. There's no need to spend any money if what you already have gets the job done. Even if there are more powerful options now available.
Or to use the analogy in the post you were replying to:

This is part of the answer to why you aren't seeing higher adoption of AMD, others have also been mentioned. You might not like the answer, but it's a perfectly reasonable one.

You are clearly incable of deriving an answer from my counter-question though it is logical and straightforward. I will try to spell it out just for you, but I have not much hope you will (read: are willing) understand. So far you have failed to use words like "prove", "strawman" and "philosophy" even slightly according to their meanings, besides from your unwillingness to grab the simplest of logic. So tadaaa. Here it is:Passing Bye wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 12:55 pm That's some failed analogy, people are buying new machines or new fast car, OP is wondering why they choose brand X over Y, why brand X have still monopoly over market and all that, you clearly are incapable of giving simple answer,
OP asks whether people choose Intel "because that's what most people want, simply because they are badly informed?"
My answer: People do not compare chips when they choose a computer, and apparantly many are running on Intels, which works for all practical purposes and thus give them no reason to switch to AMD.
You shit your pants in public by mystifying my counter-question, and you have done nothing but rubbed your face in it and pretended the smell comes from me. Good luck fooling those whose senses work
Seems like the poster above me did not get fooled, try again

Seriously, this stuff again, you guys remind me of this girl in the beginning of the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMG2fvCyTd8
Nobody is buying something they don't need and whatever they choose will serve them good, both options are amazing, difference isn't in quality, it's mostly in price and availability, don't understand why are you constantly bringing that straw man, did anyone here said that, what triggered both of you to even ask that.

You are welcome if that really comes as a surprise. However, it shouldn't really, because that was the obvious premise of my counter-question.
