Here are some numbers: I bought a windows box with misconfigured dram timings (bios bug).

I never would’ve been able to root cause it under windows (certainly not with builtin tools), but dmidecode on linux made the problem obvious.

Fixing the timings fixed crashes in amdgpu that windows users widely reported (with no diagnosis), and increased frame rates by 30-50%.

Anyway, if you really want to move, do yourself a favor and just go with straight AMD.

Software support is better than intel and nvidia, HW blows intel out of the water. The only exception is if you need cuda for AI dev work.
