It's crazy how little know about hardware. It's gotten better over the years for sure, but still drives me wild that people say things like "bro Intel is better than amd bro" without talking about benchmarks, price/performance.
I once heard a gamer content creator say "I always go Intel bro, you need to get one for your next PC" as if the brand name is the thing that matters.
Or another pet peeve is when they say "why is your i5 better than my i7" without thinking about release years. Yeah I'm a nerd /end rant
"get an i7"... Yeah but not from a generation 5 years ago, that also matters a lot.
To be fair, I think the product naming schemes for Intel and AMD sucks to the point that non enthusiasts can be left confused.
Its what happens when you have several decades building brand mindset. It ALWAYS irks me when someone asks for buying something via brand.
Its one thing to buy a brand because of customer service, and i get it. Its bad to buy a brand because of the mindset that the product is "better", as that gives companies a free pass on releasing shit products and getting away with it.
I detest the "I stick with X brand" kind of mindset. You should always research. Bare minimum you can do (that goes a long way) is to ask online
