we aren't talking about missteps we are talking about why so many office PC's used intel and it was because they had a really reliable reputation and AMD were mostly an enthusiast hobby thing you have to be super cautious with when installing.

Intel lived on their reputation for probably a decade too long sure. but there are reasons outside of so called dodgy deals that gave Intel such a massive customer base

yea but where did that reputation come from?

it came from Intel having fast and reliable CPU's

Didn't AMD CPUs back then have some kind of stone tile on them that could crack when you put the heatsink on?

old link for refference of AMDs reputation for chips that easily crack or get crushed

Do Athlon XP's have any problems with the core getting chipped/cracked?

Is the XP core stronger than the old t-bird core? Thanks.

This was nothing to do with Intel's dominance.
