Well, you still need the right kind of hardware to run it, and my money has been on AMD to deliver the solutions for that. Nvidia has gone full-blown stupid on the shit they are selling, and AMD is all about cost and power efficiency, plus they saw the writing on the wall for Nvidia a long time ago and started down the path for FPGA, which I think will ultimately be the same choice for running this stuff.
Built a new PC for the first time in a decade last spring. Went full team red for the first time ever. Very happy with that choice so far.
And it may yet swing back the other way.
Twenty or so years ago, there was a brief period when going full AMD (or AMD+ATI as it was back then; AMD hadn't bought ATI yet) made sense, and then the better part of a decade later, Intel+NVIDIA was the better choice.
And now I have a full AMD PC again.
Intel are really going to have to turn things around in my eyes if they want it to swing back, though. I really do not like the idea of a CPU hypervisor being a fully fledged OS that I have no access to.
