My interaction with PC hardware started as a kid when my father build our first computer ever, featuring an AMD Sempron. Ever since I have always used AMD products for their superior price/perf ratio. My brother was more interested in destroying electronics than building them. I have never felt a particular preference of one brand over another, but this all changed with the release of Ryzen and when I learned more about the history of the two companies and their legal battles. I think it is fairly obvious which brand won in my book.
