* Another legendary fandom rivalry: UsefulNotes/{{Mac}} vs. [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows Windows]]. Embodied and parodied in Apple's "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" commercials. This also leads to a false conception of computer history of being mainly composed of Apple, Microsoft and Linux (much to the consternation of Commodore, Sinclair, Atari, Acorn, BSD, [=BeOS=] and UNIX fans), and idolizing their [=CEOs=].

Then you have the [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation "Glorious PC Gaming Master Race"]] types who hate Macs for similar reasons, being overpriced, underpowered machines that a custom PC build would gleefully turn into a CurbStompBattle in performance terms, not to mention that [=macOS=] gets a mere fraction of the game releases that Windows does despite Valve's highly promoted port of Steam and several of their own games to the Mac.

** [[UsefulNotes/{{UNIX}} Linux]] fans are known to be very vocal about boasting their superiority towards Mac and Windows users, but Linux fans themselves are actually divided on several grounds itself.

* And now, there is a increasing fandom fight between ARM and x86 CPU architectures! Yeah, that's now because initially Intel (x86 architecture) and now AMD are targeting the same market ARM (nVIDIA, Samsung, Qualcomm, etc) is going for: tablets and smartphones. And despite both architectures performing similarly, some ARM fans says that ARM is a better solution since it costs less than x86 and is far more easily licensed out than x86, which only Intel and AMD can legally utilize, and which Intel considers a competitive advantage for being the basis of the [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer Wintel platform]] and the decades of software compatibility that brings.\\

* Nowadays, UsefulNotes/SharpX68000 and UsefulNotes/{{Amiga}} fans argue about which 68k computer is the most powerful. Although the former has indeed more advanced graphics, FM sound hardware and more ArcadePerfectPort games, the Amiga has excelled in the blitter functionality, pre-emptetive multitasking and PCM audio.
* The Internet caused a peculiar fandom rivalry between UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem and UsefulNotes/Commodore64, arguing over what 6502 system is better. NES fans claim the C64 doesn't have games such as Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc., that NES has a better colour palette, ease of use, more expansion audio chips, and parallax scrooling. While those in the Commodore 64 fandom, fans claim the NES' audio hardware is inferior to C64's SID chip, that the C64 is a computer unlike the NES, that ''Super Mario Bros.'' has been ported to the C64, the computer has more onboard RAM, the colour and scrolling limitation didn't really matter due to clever programming and the NES doesn't really have that better graphics.
