I see nothing in this review that would make me choose the Intel part over a Ryzen 5800X.
Beaten by the 5800X in almost every test, unless AVX512 was used. Given the 7nm shortage at TSMC, Intel might still beat it in price / availability.
I think at this point we're just waiting for Windows and Linux to be fully supported on the M1 or for ARM to come out with a system on a chip that's documented enough for Windows and Linux to make a port.
According to recent videos, Windows in a VM on M1 Mac today has same or better performance than Windows on ARM running natively on Surface Pro X.

Price is the biggest factor. You can get 10 cores with Intel for cheaper than 8 with AMD, plus with Intel you get integrated graphics as well which is really important right now considering the GPU shortage. Also, Intel allows virtual GPUs for virtualization in QEMU which AMD won't do.

Isn't such a thing necessary as we see US presidents falling for (deep)fake media? Is there a privacy-respecting solution that you prefer?
Not sure why this is downvoted, the questions are constructive for the thread. To add a question: why is it bad if it's an optional component? Nobody's forcing you to disclose that you shot a certain picture, unless I'm misunderstanding the concept here.

Good thing nobody actually uses AVX512
Interestingly enough, the AVX512 test was the easy win for Intel. Nobody uses it because it wasn't available and, when available, wasn't much faster overall. Now it is.
What else does that leave?

I'm seeing the i9-10900K for $467, but in terms of dollars/performance per core I think it's still behind the ryzen which costs $82 more.

Either I had really bad timing or bad luck, but somehow I am ending up with Intel even though I really wanted to switch. Around 2012 I bought a 4-core Core i5 and after some basic upgrades (max RAM to 32GB and a good SSD) it had more-than-acceptable performance for my work until mid-2018. Even when I dabbled with Machine Learning I borrowed a 1070 from my office and was plenty to run my tasks. Around end of 2018 I st…
> a basic motherboard is 300€ A 'basic' motherboard two weeks ago was the same as it is today, a low-end B550, and can be purchased for under 100€. The 10900 trades blows with the 3900x, particularly for multi-threaded, workstation-type workloads where the AMD part pulls ahead with its two extra cores. And the 3900x can be had around the same price as a 10900. So your "honest account" comes off as a little disingenuo…
Still, point taken. If I didn't get burned by the whole ordeal with the 3700x I think I would've taken a second look at the AMD 3000.

What an odd experience. I haven't heard of anyone having similar experiences with Ryzen, including myself. Maybe you got some unusually finicky motherboard?
Saddest thing is that even this stopgap meh CPU will be outsold and you'll wait ages to get it.
"will be outsold" has a different meaning, (which is likely also true for this processor, but not what you meant)
