I watched this video yesterday, and it seems to explain a lot about how Intel has been less focused on building better technology in the last 10-15 years: [this video] I'm not sure how balanced the viewpoint in the video is, but the author comes up with a lot of references.

I'm not sure what you mean. From the time AMD released the K7 'Athlon' CPU, until the time Intel released Core2, AMD was king of performance. That's a long spawn of time. To understand why Intel kept selling CPUs like pancakes despite this, check this out: [this video]

I assume you mean Linus from YouTubes "Linus Tech Tips", and not Linus Torvalds. Surprised you wouldn't clarify that considering what website this is. Considering Intel's history, I wouldn't bet they direct their efforts based on a YouTube reviewer. Also, considering Intels very anti-competitive behavior (e.g [0], [1], [2]), I am wary of stating Intel entering the DDR industry will make it any less corrupt.

I'd still just buy the AMD gpu. Mature drivers, and better tested alongside AMD cpus. Also, I never liked Intel[0]. 0. [this video]
