Linus Torvald Acknowledges AMD's Progress in Overcoming Intel as the Best CPU Manufacturer

AMD has taken the admiration of innovative minds around the world, with its recent triumphs over Intel, perhaps not in a way worth celebrating too.

In regards to Intel using their marketing influence in manipulative ways, Linus Torvalds had the following remarks;

Torvalds admitted, "You do pay more for that privilege, but at least AMD doesn't try to screw you over and limit their non-server parts. So you do get ECC for Threadripper (and plain Ryzen) too, even if it's not necessarily 'officially verified.'"

Today, ECC memory is hard to find and expensive when you do find it. Torvalds puts the blame squarely on Intel for this sad state of affairs. "Intel has been detrimental to the whole industry and to users because of their bad and misguided policies wrt [with regards to] ECC. Seriously."

This isn't a new problem. Torvalds reminds us that "You can find me complaining about this literally for decades now. I don't want to say 'I was right.' I want this fixed, and I want ECC." AMD, which unofficially supports ECC memory, "did it. Intel didn't."
