Intel or AMD? Anonymous 18-10-23 15:59:57 No.21997

I am currently on a tight budget (Broke uygha alert) whilst looking for a new mini PC. Due to being broke, i'm leaning towards buying an intel I3-1220P NUC since it's cheaper and has thunderbolt, but given recent events with Israel, would it be worthwhile to consider getting a more expensive AMD mini PC instead (since only the newer AMD mini PCs come with thunderbolt)?

Why not try second hand?

I don't trust second hand sellers here

For BDS reasons? AMD is also in Israel.

could one say AMD is less tied to Israel tho?

Possibly? IDK the degree of involvement.
But the way OP is putting it, sounds like they're kind of on the fence and that could make a difference.

all recommendation threads should only get "buy a used thinkpad" as replies

What about the new Raspberry Pi?

AMD had a joint venture with China to build and licence CPUs for the Chinese market but the US trade wars put a stop to that shortly after.

They've also been looking for alternatives to Taiwan's TSMC which has a monopoly general purpose microchips so they're less reliant on them so they seems less invested in the status quo.

Definitely look for the cheapest offer you can find for your desired specs.
You might already know this, but cheap PCs and laptops are usually built from surplus parts. Replacements might be hard to get, but you shouldn't have any hardware problems under windows or linux.

wait like 5 years until arm catches up with x86 in terms of marketshare on the NUC and laptop space, at which point china would already be competing toe-to-toe with qualcomm

What is your budget? Start there.

Intel has been on 14nm process for the.last 6 generations. Latest intel processor is slower than their previous generation. "e-cores" are a meme.

AMD Ryzen is the way to go. You can get a used ryzen 5 3600 for cheap.

Also, will buying intel over AMD negatively impact Palestine?

unironically buy second hand, I know you don't trust them, but you can always flash both bootloader and OS to stay on the safe side.Off lease thinkpads are to die for.
