Intel is my choice. Better QA than AMD. Intel corp also devote $ back to the growth of the PC industry.

Since we are on the topic, Intel’s Rosepoint chip: WiFi and CPU squeezed onto one piece of silicone

Intel call the chip Rosepoint and despite it being still strictly in the concept stage right now, there’s definite potential for the technology to make its way to market in the next few years.

The creation of Rosepoint stands as somewhat of a marker for Intel’s engineers. The company have spent years trying to shrink and digitize all manner of components and of all the things to have finally produced, a WiFi radio paired with a CPU is no mean feat.

Digital RF chips are far simpler by design than analogue WiFi chips and the complexities of the custom circuits and increasingly smaller scales at which such components need to be made makes it hard to produce these components at all. The creation of Rosepoint then grants all the more kudos to its creators.
