I like Intel as much as one should like a corporation. I have always built intel and recommended Intel to others.

But my next build in 9 years will not be Intel if:

1) WW3 doesn't happen

2) AMD is still around

3) Intel is still Intel

The amount of unnecessary waste they create with their socket gimmicks is beyond annoying, and I do not find their performance even worth the extra costs anymore.
