  Yes, but also because they’re just better chips and you probably should have only been getting them to begin with. Way more power efficient, smaller process, less heat, easier to upgrade, better multi core performance, lower price; you just get a better CPU.

    Note that better multicore perf is not true through the entire stack, because Intel chips have p core making them have better multicore perf in a lot of price-competitive offerings.

    But the current platform is quite dead, you won’t get upgrades for it

      P cores give them better single core performance. But in parallel computing AMD has the advantage and has defended it for a long time now.

        I meant e-cores
