Buying intel cpus in 202X?
Im sure the competition wouldnt dream of it so
Demands go up, prices go up, demand goes down prices go up
Price increases when demand goes up, or supply goes down.
It’s only cheap when supply exceeds demand. They’re cutting supply here.
To win the AI pop, you gotta have a supply of ECC motherboards ready to go when it all gets scrapped.
Duopoly, baby!
There’s a 600$ Macbook now running ARM. Hopefully it can run Linux soon.
8GB ram though.
given the pace of asahi Linux on m series macbooks youre going to be waiting for a few years
ARM isn’t just Apple Silicon.
the person didn’t ask for qualcomm/mediatek/nvidia/endless based arm chips, he specifically asked for the new macbook(implied neo) running linux soon because the term “it” was used to refer to it. Arm can already run linux, which would be redundant question to ask.
Linux on Snapdragon isn’t in a great place either.
Qualcomm I doubt will be any better, which means if AMD or Intel don’t step up in the ARM space, then the best bet is nVidia and their 95% GPU market share.
What?
Apple has their own SoCs based on ARM called “Apple Silicon”
Right, but what does your reply have to do with the commentt you replied to
china is reportedly preparing to take over the consumer cpu market.
People still buy intel CPUs? I think my last Intel CPU was the P3 I got for $100 when I worked at CompUSA in 1999-2000.
They are competitive, especially given motherboard prices. I used it for my wife as someone agnostic to it.
Their low power chips are good for sub 200 dollar mini pcs.
Yep, those are the only ones I’ve bought since roughly 1999.
Hah, you have no power here…I can barely afford the RAM already…
Feels like a war on the PC…cthulhu help us…
In a few years there will be shit loads of irrelevant AI crap that no-one will be able to use because they can’t buy devices. These AI companies seem like a predator that goes extinct because it has eaten all its potential prey.
people will be able to buy devices, but only devices that are so crappy they can’t run AI (or games) locally
How about a 90% reduction in the buying?
When the value of a dollar declines, you need more dollars to buy things. Normally, Intel sets prices plenty high at launch so they don’t have to raise them later, but extraordinary times…
“Why is everyone taking up old time hobbies?” Mmmhmm.
They are talking like they were still in the game.
