Peace in our time, or so AMD and Intel would like you to believe. These bitter frenemies are clubbing together to protect and develop the x86 standard for desktop and laptop gaming CPUs and to fight off the threat from upstarts like Arm and Qualcomm via a new working body called the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group.
AMD and Intel have dominated the PC market with x86-based processors for decades, and if you’re looking for the best gaming CPU, you’ve been stuck choosing between them. That’s starting to change, however. Powerful and energy efficient alternatives, such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon X range, pose a serious challenge, and the two companies are looking to fight back against the threat.
