Since 6/7 series Ryzen in the last 1-2 years?

Of course they still have a stranglehold on computer CPUs, the point is they haven’t done anything with that for 30 years. Their bread and butter is an ever lower margin game in PCs that have largely peaked; they missed mobile phones and are set to miss whatever comes next with ARM.

My purchase of a laptop without their proc isn’t even a drop in the ocean, but the point is that the only market they do have they can’t even dominate any more, just keep shipping manually faster CPUs once a year, just like they have been for the past 15.

I think it’s shorter to name the things Intel did strike gold on than the boats they missed despite all kinda of advantages.

They missed the entire mobile market processor explosion, inevitable as it was since 2009 with Android launch(or 2007 if you want to say they should have seen what Apple was doing and thought they could compete, which if you’re an exec at Intel you should have).

They missed cloud computing.

Classic “big company hires/keeps overpaid check drawers instead of those with finger on the pulse”. Intel deserves the very little innovation, success and relevancy theyve had post 86.

Bought my first AMD computer this year, an and 6800 Ryzen 7 with an on proc 680m gpu that is equivalent of ~ Nvidia 2050 discrete card. Game over for Intel.

As is tradition. So Lumberg’s stock will go up a quarter of a point.

Or if you have to do business with a dinosaur company that won’t let you paste in the PW field.

I remember an article around the great recession about a armored car driver who walked off with a few hundred thousand dollars are scoping the setup, don’t know if he was ever caught. His pay for the armored car driver job?

The worst part being that democracy’s doctor, the “free” press, our ability to diagnose and help ourselves root out disease has been largely absorbed into the borg. How many times did you hear “inflation” in the last 4 years vs. “profit gouging”? Data has shown the majority of price increases were just corporate profit chasing and monopoly/oligopoly flexing on a captive audience.

Some potential voice acting work for Jason Statham if expendables and F&F franchises ever finally call it quits.

Generally, this is the shot over the bow that indicates to companies a given area of society or economy is no longer open season, and to start tempering actions and/or otherwise preparing defense or increasing lobby to inevitably force through weak regulations surrounding it. Gov gets to say it’s regulating and companies are happy they keep the key pieces of their exploitive model.

Followed quickly by the quote “control is what we want”…sure, they mean for you over your dreams, right?

Imagine having the ability to lucid dream and your first thought is, great, more time with Excel!

Yeah but what about great aunt Marge? Don’t you want to know if it was Scotland or Denmark?!?

Only 16 principles Amazon? Ok, if you only want to do the minimum, but wouldn’t you like to do more than the minimum?

Yes, that is the entire point of the reference.

What do you mean we weren’t trained on boardroom shadow takeovers by 49% non-voting members scenarios?

Interesting the major backer is Volkswagen who announced last week their brand is no longer competitive…so now they’re trying to get more value out of this investment by junk pieces like this.

That should be an option for sure!
