You buy Intel because you've always bought Intel, hell, your daddy probably bought Intel too.
Its like when grandpa retired and walked into the Buick dealer in the 90s, remembering the solid brick of a car his dad had when he was a kid, and rolled out in a skylark.
Even AMD's server advertising is in on the joke.

I love this LTT video on Intel, it sums them up well.
I'm kind of shocked he said this when he's sponsored by Intel and very obviously tries to cover his ass by saying he likes them. Hell, during the WANShow stream where they talked about the big leak they didn't mention the fact that IMS had intentional backdoors in it at all, just playing the entire leak off with some jokes. I don't know if he was legitimately ignorant of that shit or was playing it off for the sake of his relationship with Intel, but either way I couldn't help but be put off from it.
This is all I hear from anyone now and it really speaks volumes about their current state. Intel will never die, and they have a massive marketing presence, but that's all they have. They're going to continue being uncompetitive, incompetent, lazy, and generally just too used to being a monopoly, and they're going to coast through it all with all the money they have, all while their stocks continue to go down while AMD's goes up.
I'm also excited for Apple Silicon. Not for the product itself, but the ripples it could send across the industry. Coupled with Microsoft's desire to also adopt ARM devices, it could finally actually kill Intel. Unless Intel decides to make ARM chips. Of course I say that in the same tone as if I was asking when OPL will get a job.

Intel are coasting on prebuilt. Say you're joe normie buying a facebook machine (32 GB ram, 9001 core 6Thz cpu, nvidea rtx for google chrome to render a single page at 5 fps), you have a 50/50 chance of buying a prebuilt machine with an intel cpu. (Used to be waaaay higher too)
People aren't consciously buying them, they just end up with them if they don't care.

Before we all go dancing on Intel's grave here, let's just take a second to look at their trajectory and consider the possibility of AMD following suit. Intel held too much control for too long, which is how we got "What are you gonna do about it?" security 'features', stagnated development, etc. If they leave the market, or pull a Microsoft and decide to focus almost completely on the corporate world, that will leave AMD in the position to start abusing its customers and resting on its laurels same as Intel did.
Maybe ARM PCs coming along and opening up the market a bit won't be so bad after all, though I worry about instruction set incompatibilities etc killing our ability to run older software.
