>>715945115>They were the undisputed kingthey never were. they got their lead from absolutely sabotaging AMD (i.e. their backup supplier) at every turn
pentium 4 was absolute dogshit. amd overtook them with their athlon processors and then intel started crippling AMD thanks to their compilers picking worse execution paths if an AMD cpu was detected
intel also launched gave massive discounts to OEMs for shipping their processors. there have been huge lawsuits over this
and when amd was making a kililng in the market with its opteron CPUs back in the day, nintendo literally paid hundreds of millions in cash to companies to get them to keep using their CPUs
intel is truly despicable. garbage company.
ps: amd is shit too, but intel is an order of magnitude worse
