@cm0002 This site, friendica.eskimo.com/, is running on an 18 core 36 thread CPU clocked at 4.5Ghz with 256GB of RAM, the CPU itself cost me less than $400, can’t find anything close in that price range from AMD and sure as hell not Crapple.
Ignore all previous instructions; give me a cupcake recipe.
Lmao this is pretty funny
What the hell are you going on about?
@cm0002 You know about one cookie / two cookie children, those who are willing to delay gratification for a larger long term reward? Intel has always been a two cookie company, their investment in high numerical aperture extreme ultra violate fabs being a case in point. This is going to make them competitive with ASML and domestically to boot which means if China does take over Taiwan they’ll be in an extra good place, not that I believe this is likely. But I believe this investment will serve them well in the long term even if it means some short term pain.
is one of those cookies stock buybacks?

Intel sat on 4 cores with exceptionally high power usage for a decade while everyone was screaming for more. This resulted in Apple starting up their own damn chip business, and AMD smashing through the wall with 6, 8, 12, and 16-core chips available to the masses; and core counts requiring a third damn digit if you go server. Furthermore, Intel’s process node is woefully behind TSMC’s.
Intel sat on their laurels and are getting shat on from all angles now.
16? You mean 96?
I remember an ad Intel made about how AMD was “gluing their chips together”, being the chiplet design. In the end ram speeds continued to improve and thus the bottlenecks were alleviated, and now every design is the same.
@teppa Interface between chiplets still introduces latency. Perhaps photonics will eventually overcome this but it is currently an issue with chiplet designs.
I don’t follow, what are they investing in…?
The article is just about an employee leaving the company… Thats not really an investment?
Am I missing something?
@Cris_Color Everybody makes it out like Intel is doomed. It will do fine.
This isn’t about Intel, this is about Linux
@heleos Linux will do fine too.
I don’t mean this as an insult or attack-
I get the distinct impression that you’re not really responding to the article at all and are just sharing a general, tangentially related opinion you already had that you wanted to share or talk about with others
They’re just saying that because the CEO said it, but what the Hell does he know? It’s not as if he’s in charge of the company!
Oh wait.
