I always hear about AMD is more powerful and affordable than Intel, but why AMD still not taking over the market and the consumer?,(reply>), Koustuv Kanungo I don't want to get into their politics, I'm just looking at the sheets of what and not these chip can do for me. Yes, part of it is from Adobe lack of initiative to optimized for AMD, I have no time to wait for them, I need the reliability now. I'm not saying AMD is bad or something, I'm just saying it's not all about on paper, it's what suits you. I can see AMD excel in different markets, specially for entry level machines, which is good for the consumers.,(reply>), Sure, use the thing that causes fewer headaches for your work, but please don't call Intel as something for professionals. This situation came along in the first place through Intel sabotaging AMD and then having a near monopoly on the market. On top of that Adobe hasn't optimized for Intel, they've simply stuck with their single-threaded​ algorithm and never bothered to update them for multithreading.,(reply>), Koustuv Kanungo I don't want to risk my work on frequently crash using amd, I rather spend a couple more money to ensure my work stays flawless using Intel Chip.,(reply>), Koustuv Kanungo Well, adobe saw what hardware professional use and they stick with it.,(reply>), Well, that's still on Adobe, not AMD. Plus AMD does give you so much more for the same money, and the IPC too is inching closer to that of Intel, plus not buying a new motherboard for at least 5 years from launch is awesome.
