Not sure why the thumbs down. Probably non gamers. No serious gamer uses intel anymore in 2026. Intel has like 10% of the custom build market now. The failure rate on 13th and 14th gen processors was incredibly high. I've personally seen 100%. 2/2 failure rate in them. Couple that with way worse thermals and still Lower performance.. nobody who spends 5 minutes looking would ever go intel. Ok here comes the thumbs down!

It's the intel fanboyz that don't look at any of the chart...the 285k might be impresive and can stand with amd's best but are very inefficient as well performance-per-watt wise (Even if you disregard gaming).
Intel used to be not just the best but also more efficient but amd turned the table a few years ago...
I love both and competition is always good for the cosummers which drives prices down so I'm not biased as I've been on both side but you gotta consider all the charts.
Actually there is a TON of problems with the AMD versions of the Omen computers. (Just go google it) You need to go Intel with Omen to use a lot of basic computer features.
I found 3 comments on reddit and youTube that say the newest firmware fixes most of the throttling with the 45L ( new firmware turns the fans on sooner and you can set the RAM XMP profile now )
Can you buy a better computer for $1,899 ?
Thanks

The cpu was throttling 1300mhz below the normal clock speed and was still running 105C
