Jacob Roach, a writer for Digital Trends, shares his experience of switching back to AMD after using Intel CPUs for close to seven years. He started with the Core i7-8700K and moved on to the Core i9-10900K, Core i9-12900K, and most recently, the Core i9-13900K. Despite these processors being among the best at different points in time, Roach decided to switch back to AMD, specifically to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D for his gaming PC.
Roach cites stability issues as one of the main reasons for his switch. He experienced constant crashes and Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) alerts while using the Core i9-13900K. Some recent high-end Intel CPUs have shown stability issues, and it took months after users initially reported problems before Intel publicly commented on the instability.
Roach also mentions a plague of “unsupported processor” BSOD alerts that occurred with Intel’s 13th-gen CPUs and MSI’s supported motherboards. Although MSI and Intel worked to fix it within a few weeks, Roach was in the middle of another string of instability problems at the time of writing.
