intel must still be hanging on purely based on corporate computers? or is there something else they are a large part of?

this just be in my bubble, but i feel like anyone i know over the last 15 years has been exclusively getting AMD, whether theyre tech savvy or just a regular consumer.

15 years? absolutely not. At the very least Skylake was very popular 5-10 years ago.

  Athlon64 x2s fucking dominated Pentiums back in the mid 2000s, but the market for people playing games was much smaller. Only with the i-series did Intel come back on top. Ryzen was great when it came out for budget gaming, but Intel still was supreme in perforce until the Ryzen 3D processors came out.

    Oh I agree with you, but in my experience the people i know have predominately gone AMD as well. When I bought my 9900k, Reddit was HEAVILY downvoting any Intel support and upvoting AMD support. It doesn’t reflect the market, it I do see that in social trends.
    
    …that said, while my 9900k still kicks ass, I am never going Intel again after recent news hahaha

A lot of people I work with still buy Intel based on brand recognition alone. Most are tech savvy people too.

Their new GPU has a pretty solid price/performance.

CPU is shit though

Defense contracting.

They do a a good amount of of military industrial contracting and work for 3 letter agencies on data processing/ high performance computing.

They also got awarded government funding in 2024 to build logic chips for the military in-country.

Not enough to sustain the company, but such “sensitive” programs may not be allowed to show up in revenue reports or have to be assigned to other areas or so.
