Have Hardware unboxed ever recommended anything Intel?
It's not quite a shock to hear them be critical of Intel vs. Gamers Nexus and Level1Techs, I swear HUB would have recommended AMD in the Bulldozer days...
Until recently they were recommending Intel CPUs over AMD at the low end, saying they provided better value for money in that segment. And they used to recommend Intel processors for gaming, back when they had the gaming crown.
That's because AMD hasn't made a serious entry in the budget space since 2021. Until they release the Ryzen 3 8300 the only modern low end CPUs are made by Intel.
