It appears to me that they're equally security-unfriendly, but with AMD at least winning on price and performance.I agree (although I'm not sure price and performance is significant enough to matter to me), the only reason I would go with Intel is that it's what I've been using for the last 20 years, and it's what I know. I had an AMD one time (late 90s/early 00s) and had a lot of problems with it. I know AMD today is much different than in the past, but I'm still wary whe the investment is one I will need to use for 5 to 10 years.
But if AMD went libre, I'd jump ship.
