Guess its time to try and avoid buying Intel parts as much possible.

I was going to say this, but you did it first. Sadly the only other real alternative isn't all that much better, but at least it's not owned by the US (I think?). That said, Intel is doing so poorly at the moment that you'd really have to go out of way to buy Intel anyway, at least if you were building your own PC.

I'm glad I got my PC built a couple of years back and don't have to worry about this too. I guess Intel's GPUs are off the table for my next GPU ugprade though, not that they're probably attractive enough even at that point.
