You claim to have used AMD for over 25 years, with your comment of having used 5 CPUs for around 5 years each, straight AMD, which is about 1 CPU per each CPU family/generation

AMD has had more than one absolute stinker in that time frame. Bulldozer and its refinements were so fucking awful that it almost killed AMD as a company.. it was only a desperate dice roll on Zen that brought AMD back into relevance.

So yes, arguing with verifiable facts to push the "AMD has always been the best 4 evar" is indeed blind, foolish brand loyalty.
