No. I replied to a popularity argument not one about technology.
About your technological argument, there are differences between them. For instance W8 has an improved scheduler for AMD modules, whereas W7 lacks it, as a consequence W8 can increase the gaming performance of an FX chip up to a 10% (that is more than Ivy -> Haswell).
If you are going to reject linux because has about a 8% share then you would reject any OS with a similar share like W8.
I am not the one that is accepting or rejecting things in base to popularity argument. I don't care about OS-X, if you care go for it and give benchmarks.
A final note. OS-X runs on AMD chips as well. There is people running OS-X on their AMD Hackintosh.
All the points you make are so false, I'm just wondering if you are actually serious.
First, let's leave the marketing keyword ,
up to, outside. In cold numbers reality, both Intel & AMD gained ~ 2-3% on Windows 8, on
average, and that's what matters.
Second, Linux has not 8%. Head over to the Linux forums, there are threads discussing what Linux should do to go above 1% usage. You might want to go over there, and enlighten them (and the rest of the world) that they've been 800% wrong.
In the same time, I'm doubting you have used a single distro in your lifetime.
Third, CPUs are benchmarked with the most popular apps/games people use, and that's the way it should be. Therefore Windows & OS X get the priority here, noone cares what you personally want.
Fourth, I've built 4 hacintoshes, including my own, over the last 3 months, and AMD is a terrible no-go. Full of bugs, kernel hacks & works very unstable.
Quoting MacBreaker:
Mac OS X does not offer any official support for AMD processors, so the only methods available to AMD Hackintoshes remain in a state of quasi-legitimacy. For instance, the tonymacx86 forums expressly prohibit any discussion of AMD Hackintoshes, and even on forums that permit discussion, AMD is always a much less popular subject than Intel.
Keep in mind that support for AMD Hackintoshes is sparse, and in some cases nonexistent. Once you've installed Mac OS X on your AMD computer, whether with iBoot Legacy, nawcom's ModCD, or a distro, you're on your own.
Have fun sorting that mess out.
