737 max Vs A350

[Wuffles]

As a pure academic exercise.

If you did your research and I asked your advice/opinion would you choose the Boeing 737 Max (Intel Series XX) or the Airbus A350 (AMD XX) they are both "allegedly" safe aircraft and both do what it says on the tin.
I am in the L/H seat of the former *, although I would not call myself a Boeing Fanboy, however I have friends who are drivers of the latter and they would probably enthuse the maximum aerodynamic efficiency over the former.
During my 80 day wait for my GPU of choice I have drawn some parallels between CPU choice and A/C choice.
Just an observation that can probably be conflated into car choice, televisions, phones (iPhone vs Android)

(*Actually its a B787 but the premise is accurate)

The discussion is immediately flawed and off balance.

Intel are not considered safe, that's one of the whole points of them. They are inherently insecure at a design level. Most of their zero day exploits can't be patched, it needs a complete redesign of the silicon, Intel are well aware of this and yet haven't changed the silicon design since 2015.

Aside from that, you have power consumption, Intel use SIGNIFICANTLY more power to achieve lesser results, this means you need much higher specification cooling for a lesser spec CPU, much higher motherboard to cope with the increased voltage etc etc etc.

Then you have feature sets. Intel are miles behind, they don't have PCIe 4 which means no NVME support over 3500mbs, whereas Intel are double that.

The list goes on and on and one. And that before comparing performance where AMD are just miles ahead.

Seriously, read this thread, it highlights everything.

AMD Vs Intel

So some of you aren't aware of the reasons why so many people are heading away from Intel to AMD, so thought it would be important to lay that out for people to refer back to. A lot of you will go to cpubenchmark or userbenchmark to find performance metrics for CPU's. These sites are complete...

Given the safety issues with the 737 MAX and the way Boeing covered up, I wouldn’t want to go anywhere near them. The 737 is a very old design, not really suited for today’s larger and more efficient turbofan engines. Therefore, there were software patches / fudges to overcome fundamental problems. Does anyone see any similarity to CPUs?
