Just for interest. Why did you buy Intel in the first place. I don't know about many use cases where Intel is the superior option.

I started buying Intel CPUs because they allowed me to build high-performance computers that ran Linux flawlessly and produced little noise.

I find it funny that they mention noise level, as if the CPU itself were making noise. I've bought silent fans all my life, separately from CPUs.

Better energy efficiency overall.

Other than that - maybe some habit.

They have better idle efficiency, but if your PC is not on and idle 24/7 for some reason, AMD is more efficient.
