I've got a couple of Intel processors but they're 4th generation or older 
so I doubt I'll see a problem. When I did the Patch Tuesday update on my 
company laptop yesterday I did notice it was flashing a new Intel update. 

I've always favored AMD and my newest boxes are Ryzen 7s. With Intel 
seemingly trying to commit suicide in a very messy fashion I wouldn't buy 
a new machine with 'Intel Inside'.
