I had Athlons and Athlon64 and they were good after the tech stabilized.

The dual-processor A64 box I had was a pain, and in the end I gave it away.

Not met "Pentium Gold" yet. Me, personally, I would not take any
crippled chip and not accept anything less than Core i3. Old ones are
cheap now. My 2 Core i5 Thinkpad laptops cost me well under €200 each.

They are real, but I haven't used them much. A little SSHing into some
remote boxes, that's all.
