Choose between Intel or AMD for your latest CPU.
I'm weighing the choice between an Intel 10900 and an AMD 3900. I was leaning toward AMD until a recent video showed a successful setup with Intel. Initially, this would be my main desktop for gaming, photo editing, and occasional video work—especially since my new camera supports 4K. I also plan to run virtual machines under Hyper-V for the lab, which would be easier with Intel. I'm not sure if this is just an Unraid issue or if other virtual platforms are affected. According to the video, Linus mentioned talking to Unraid staff who said AMD works well with GPU pass-through but isn’t as smooth as Intel. I’ve been buying motherboards with built-in Intel NICs to avoid past problems, but a different chipset worked once before. Anyone have thoughts or experiences with AMD virtualization?
