One thing that may or may not have something to do with people leaving Intel might be related to their relationship with Israel. Not trying to make this political, but it's something I've seen some folks mention before.

I've always thought it's a super weird place for them to have a fab just in general. It's never been the most politically stable part of the world and surely you don't want your several billion dollar infrastructure getting blown up, so why would you put it somewhere where that's more likely?

Could be, like I said, not making it political. My current setup is running a 12th gen i9 and runs fine. I'm just repeating what I've seen other across Lemmy, Reddit, etc. have said in other places

Last time I got a CPU, I didn't even consider the Intel alternatives because of such. My old CPU was a i7-4790k.
