One thing that I genuinely appreciate about AMD is that I don't need to do any research to see what CPUs support what. They have a handful of SKUs, they're all straightforward, you spend what you're willing to and go from there. I feel like Intel requires me to do a bunch of research to see if the CPU I've picked checks all the boxes.

Then I buy my AMD and deal with their weird driver issues and throw my hands up.

I will not be surprised if Intel follows the AMD example soon. Pat Gelsinger is a product person. And generally Product person understand these issues better. Compared to Marketing / Financial people who have zero understanding. ( I dont want to bash them too much but seriously I have never met a marketing / financial guy who is any good at products in the 20+ years. )
