They do that because that’s the only way they can survive against AMD given how much behind Intel is in terms of CPU and GPU tech. I have a really slim laptop featuring an AMD APU (Ryzen 7 7735U with Radeon 680M) and nearly 8 hours of battery life, and which I can use to game (mid settings in games like Genshin Impact, on a Wayland desktop thanks to high quality open-source Linux drivers) and do GPGPU programming exactly as if I was writing CUDA thanks to their open-source HIP SDK (again, on a slim as fuck laptop with just an APU, AMD is surprisingly catching up very quickly in the GPGPU programming space this year). Neither Intel nor NVIDIA offer anything similar right now.

This is just blatantly false and disengenious.
Sure, Intels GPU tech is pathetic. But it’s also not their business. Their only reasonable market use case is making a serviceable on board gpu for people who aren’t going to buy a real GPU. AMD makes actual fucking graphics cards. Of course their GPU tech is ahead.
But Intel CPU tech is not blatantly behind AMD. Sure, there have been points where AMD has leapt ahead. But the same could be said for Intel. Sure there are advantages to some techs on the AMD side, but the same could be said for Intel. They’re in competition and neither is wholy ahead of the other.
Yeah, you go on to pinpoint one specific use case that you have, which is very specific, and something less than 1% of 1% of 1% of their customers care about. Same could be said the other way.

Examples that don’t involve shipping chips that need to be factory-overclocked and have higher power consumption just to match AMD’s chips: (also from: xda-developers.com/intel-core-i9-13900k-vs-amd-ry…)
or bribing OEMs just so that Intel doesn’t have to compete with AMD’s high-end CPUs by making buying an AMD PC either impossible or very obscure?
Only an Intel fanboy can be oblivious to this and pretend that Intel is still in the CPU race. It doesn’t even make sense when you add to that their anti-competitive practices. You shouldn’t need to bribe OEMs to offer as few AMD options as possible if you were confident in your own CPUs.

Even if you were correct, your obnoxious attitude would make me not care anyway. You’re lying to yourself if you believe at all that AMD has better CPUs. Intel has for a long time now the best single threaded performance. The other person laid it out for you nicely. I’m not much of an Intel fanboy but you types of people are just as obnoxios as apple users. Claim to know everything but completely wrong about it.

Summarized pretty much what you said there. I’m not even exaggerating as that’s what you literally said, and honestly, your first sentence is just pathetic. You deliberately say that you’re choosing to be ignorant because you took it personally when I said mean things about your Intel.
