Thanks for all the replies. I may write this up.<br>
<br>
One other pointed question.<br>
<br>
In general, how much has the Spectere/meltdown issue and Intel<br>
Fab issue effected your decisions of Intel vs AMD?<br>
<br>
Or are your decisions still based on performance/price/other<br>
benchmarks?<br>
