The Intel 285K CPU in my high-end 2025 Linux PC died again! 😡 Notably, this was the replacement CPU for the original 285K that died in March, and after reading through the reviews of Intel CPUs on my electronics store of choice, many of which (!) mention CPU replacements, I am getting the impression that Intel’s current CPUs just are not stable 😞. Therefore, I am giving up on Intel for the coming years and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D CPU instead.
Just for interest. Why did you buy Intel in the first place. I don’t know about many use cases where Intel is the superior option.
Better energy efficiency overall.
Other than that - maybe some habit.
They have better idle efficiency, but if your PC is not on and idle 24/7 for some reason, AMD is more efficient.
