Im waiting until 2020 to update my computer.
What should I buy by then, Intel or AMD?
Im concerned about NSAware on CPU's, so I guess AMD, but how can you even trust AMD doesn't have their own internal OS bullshit?
Update is mostly for better video editing (rendering times on my 10 year old Q6600 are annoying) more VST instances in FLStudio, and good performance in VR racing games, hopefully by 2020 VR is finally good.
AMD is just as much spyware as incel
Both have online management engines and backdoors.
You have to go pre-2012 for AMD and pre-2008 for intel if you want non backdoored cpus
2020 is DDR5 too early to tell which side to go for.
Buying AM4 in 2020 is fucking stupid as it's EOL by then.
If you want privacy stop using post-18th century tech.
>You have to go pre-2012 for AMD and pre-2008 for intel if you want non backdoored cpus
Wrong kiddo. Even Core Duo had on die management cores.
I was thinking about the same thing
right now ppl are thinking of chip redesign to incorporate security and prevent meltdown, spectre, and TLBleed
I suspect more hardware exploits will be found over the years.
it just takes a serious one that can be exploited with ease (think cryptolocker, spreadable over the network, but with zero user intervention, and in hardware...) for shtf
anyway what I was thinking is it leaves a small window of opportunity to build a new secure architecture to compete with x86. just need linux or microsoft or apple to jump on the bandwagon to get traction.

Threadripper 2, Intlel literally cannot compete.
So even my Q6600 is backdoored? wtf
And even the t400 and x60 laptops are backdoored? dont nerds always use these as the ultimate free computers?
How do you guys cope with this bullshit?
>muh 99999 cores
But does it really outperform Rizen alternative? show me the proof
Intel has an 'advantage' at NSAware whereby ME_Cleaner can effectively cripple it(It can pretty much only check the CPU(for example for 8700 against Z170 chipset to ensure they don't work for no good reason), power on the CPU and that's it) even for Coffee Lake systems. This is only an option if you know how to mod your BIOS though. You can either set the HAP bit, remove most of the ME firmware or both. AMD's PSP only have the option to turn off in the UEFI, which don't do anything. No PSP_Cleaner to this date.
Intel's newer stuff will probably use solder under the IHS if de8auer is correct. Otherwise, buy a second-hand MSI's Delid Guard and install the heatsink(don't bother with re-gluing the IHS, using the ILM e.t.c., it usually will crack the CPU). Do remember to be protected against Spectre, Meltdown, TLBleed and stuff, whereas AMD is mostly immune. Disable HT or buy an i5.
If you don't mind AMD PSP, then Ryzen is the better choice.
