He's a viciously dumb mobster, of course he's going to twist their arm, like he personally owns place.

I agree but also Intel's been doing a bang-up job of offing themselves for a decade.

I'm willing to give some credit to the GPU dev team. Everybody else though? No.

At least everyone was leaving Intel anyway. Why pay more when AMD has hyperthreading now?

Yep, Intel is basically dead, unless Trump forces out the competition and only allows Intel to be sold. Intel has been shit for awhile now anyways.

Edit: And I highly advise everyone to NOT install any drivers downloaded from the Intel site. Only get drivers that have been vetted by a 3rd party. You can't trust that Turnip lackeys haven't added spyware.

Kinda did beforehand anyway. Their fabs are old and there's not much going on to build new ones or update, so.

shakes AMD's hand

You won! 🎉

Uh oh! Monopoly! I hope AMD isn't swayed by political actors into injecting malware into their chips, again.

Intel will be all around.

At the moment, not many:

The government bailing out a dying company is probably going to float the price, at least for awhile.

Arc GPUs are worth buying at the moment to avoid a duopoly of Nvidia and AMD. AV1 support at a reasonable price can be a big deal for media preservation. At least on the CPU side there's competition from Apple, AMD, and other mobile processors that could theoretically enter the desktop market. Server CPUs are unfortunately looking bleak.

To be fair this is the opposite.

I suspect they're trying to trick retail investors to buy a dip that isn't there
