AMD is a cheap knockoff. Nothing more. How else can you explain having to add a bunch of options to the FreeBSD kernel just to get it to recompile? Gee... I didn't have to do that with Intel. Poor reverse engineering is all it is. And it helps that hardware sites like Toms and ARS habitually lie about the performance, and oh, did I mention AMD pays them off constantly? We tried a roll-out of AMD at work last year with 6 AMD-based name brand computers (I'll spare that particular manufacturer the agony of this article as their Intel products are solid). Less than a year later none of the AMDs are functioning. Every single one of them died. Not the motherboard. Not the hard drive. The processor. They're K-mart quality! Wal-Mart! Ghetto silicon!
