Does your desktop PC have a 13th- or 14th-generation Raptor Lake CPU? Read this now. Does the microcode patch actually work? You really need to read this.
And here I thought, it would be good to go for Intel. Recently got a new PC with 14600KF. However, I have not had any issues with performance besides Deathloop (Launches, black screen and then dissapears).
EDIT: So I guess, I’m forced to wait until my motherboard developer/ company (MSI) announces that their users can update their BIOS manually? I’m curious whether, I’m actually affected by this or not. Though I guess, never gonna go Intel again. Next new PC will be having AMD (unless AMD makes such a mess as well, then it does not matter).

e.g. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/ryzen-3000-fix-sinkclose-vulnerability-183025768.html AMD has these sorts of flaws too, I don’t know enough to tell if AMD is significantly better at this when deciding to buy
That AMD security vulnerability doesn’t physically damage the CPU while this Intel flaw does. Thats a drastic difference so the two are not the same
So far the AMD security flaws aren’t causing physical CPU damage, so Intel definitely wins the screw up award.
That exploit required kernel access to begin with, which at that point, you have much bigger problems.
