On the desktop Intel has better memory controllers last time I looked, but it’s not that big a difference. Something in your setup is just broken. Failures will happen with any brand, so I wouldn’t chalk it up to AMD vs Intel… figure out where your problem is and get the faulty part replaced if you can.

I feel you though, regardless of the cause, that is an extremely frustrating place to be.

Yea I’m just bummed because it’s a real expensive time to be swapping memory parts around. Like I said, things seem to just work without memory context restore so I’m fine with just paying the cost when I reboot once a week or whatever. I feel like the fact that disabling MCR fixes it should narrow down the issue to some part, I’m just not sure which.

It is, but isn’t it all warranty in your scenario?

It would be painful to claim though, as what part is at fault?

That's the problem, I have no idea. The fact that disabling MCR fixes it should point to something, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what.

There are numerous recent stories of companies refusing to make good on their warranties and instead offering customers a refund for the original price paid. One example: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/hdds/toshiba-refu...
