holding off on 2022.1 due to Code Factory dragging their feet

Intel or AMD: does the processor make a difference to NVDA
Hi, Not in the slightest. Go with whatever you fancy and you'll be happy, at this point. I own a 1st generation Ryzen (1800x) and various Intel processors. I see no difference at all both in response
