I've been avoiding Intel for years. I can even tell you why:
Serious reasons:
* Sueing people for using the term "inside" in their domain name or whatever.
* Contracts that forbid selling AMD hardware.
* Power consumption and heat generation of Intel CPUs.
Not-so-serious reasons:
* The Pentium-4 disaster (slower than Pentium III).
* Trying to hide the fact (from non-technical consumers) that they licensed
AMD64 technology.
* The Pentium FPU bug clearly showed that Intel cooks with water just like
anyone else.
* Wintel.
* Idiotic marketing: "MMX for more colors" or nonsense like that.
