    The funny thing is that UserBenchmark’s “passion” for Intel doesn’t seem to be motivated by financial concerns, this seems to be an obsession of sorts by the site’s management. They’ve been discounting AMD in rather convoluted ways at least as far back as the late 2010s (around the time Zen was released).

    I am genuinely curious to find the full story behind this.

      I forget the actual GPUs being compared, but was looking at a UserBenchmark comparison of a NVIDIA vs Arc card, and the review blurb at the bottom was a rant about AMD cards…

        They are truly commited to their intel fandom .

        In a way, I respect this more than corpo-shills who do not have an opinion at all.

        There is an abstract beauty about their dedication. It’s like a good art house movie about the inherent contradictions in life; except the topic at hand is nerdy electronics company drama BS.

      Not to mention with Intel’s stability issues on their recent chips and the hoops people had to go through and are still going through to get sorted out, it’s going to take an equally bad fuck up from AMD for me to the compare them again.
