Total Recall? nope

Whew, I got out of the computer support biz just in time. First crowdstrike, now this. All we ever had to deal with was the old intel floating point debacle.

Intel can't afford to recall all of the chips it has produced in the last 2 years. OTOH, not recalling the chips gives them an incredible image problem. I have bought Intel CPUs for the last 45 years (going back to my first IBM "portable" PC). It is likely that my next PC (or portable) will have an AMD chip.

Luckily the Dell Inspiron 16 notebook that I recently bought (for a ridiculous low price) has an AMD Ryzen 5 processor. I'm pleased with it so far, although it does not have a dedicated graphics card I can even play Skyrim on it, the fans start blowing loudly after about 10 minutes though now it's summer :-\

I have an AMD 5800x and an AMD 6900XT (almost three years old). A VM, 3 Instances of "Lord of the rings" online, several browser tabs and 2 instances of Sketch up 2017 open. Be Quiet case with 2x silent wings and a dark rock pro 4 for the CPU. The fans only activate second speed from time to time for 10 or 15 seconds. My first AMD components and, right now, I do not see me coming back to intel soon.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
