Looking at some pre-mades for ease of use and limited time. Thinking of the two below. The Maingear seems the better deal, but honestly I'm so ignorant these days on hardware specs that just because the numbers are bigger, I'm not sure if that's better? Looking to be under $3,000 for the computer. Have all the peripherals and the monitors already.

Any other high-end options that I'm missing? I skipped Falcon due to cost.

Maingear (7800X3D and 5070ti) is the better gaming system and perfectly fine for office/media usage. Corsair would be better for CPU core-heavy/multithreaded performance, but if you need that type of system you shouldn't be buying either of these anyway.

Starforge is another SI you should check out.

(if you buy the Maingear system, you might need to play with the RAM settings if the system isn't doing 6400 at 1:1)

Their employees were eating too much fruit.

Out competed by AMD, lackluster and power hungry 13th and 14th gen processors, and poor management of a major fab mishap.

I've been out of the "know" for a while. I didn't have any idea Intel is in trouble. What's the context of that?

They are way behind on foundry. They might catch up with the new litho machines in a few years. So far, a $26B might.

Their newest CPU is worse than the previous gen. However, it is an entirely new design from the ground up, and dispenses with a lot of design technology they've been using for decades. Will it pan out? Next gen will tell us.

They completely missed the AI boat in the same way they completely missed the mobile boat.

They are losing ground in enterprise. All of the large ground they've lost will never be recaptured.

Their previous two CEO's either lacked direction or lacked balls. Their brand new CEO has both, but fixing all these things takes time. Will the board give him enough runway to do it?

They are losing market share in every category.

they've admitted that their latest chips and probably dating all the way back have had microcode issues, basically think of it as lane closures, well you close down a lane and redirect, but if you have multiple lane closures then you funnel everything to 1 lane and you create a traffic jam or a "hotspot", intel admits, 13th/14th gen chips have microcode failures, ppl say it's also the 12th gen and ppl found this out after years of blaming...

nvidia, everyone thought all the game crashes was just too hot chips fucking up and it made sense, you game you crash, you just blame the video card, but then as amd started to pwn intel (since ryzen3 and 2020 amd has just been tits amazing) and more ppl had more amd chips, these crashes don't happen w/ amd, why?

tldr:
you are a faggot if you buy an intel pc now
