it's for people who willing to spend over $450, but less than $488, obviously

also, i guess, for people who want a processor rather than an eternally pending order for one.

if intel can sort their poo poo out they actually probably don't need to be competitive with tsmc, just need to not be bottlenecked by tsmc.

they knew this was coming. they probably noticed when Apple wasn’t interested in bringing up their future chips. computer makers usually get access to chip models and prototypes about a year in advance. Apple engineers not putting in the effort on the latest would have been obvious.

they're pretty regularly on sale for $400 or even less. I have one because i couldn't get a zen 3 refreshing store pages on minute one of launch day and needed a processor for my new build, works just fine with a beefy enough cooling solution

ok so they were maybe panicking a year earlier, but I wonder how much of a loss it really is for them?

I mean, it was a big win for intel at least from a PR standpoint when Apple switched away from PPC

now remember their dog poo poo docsis chipset that gave millions incredibly lovely jitter/latency issues on comically huge docsis 3.0 modems that would overheat constantly

for sure. i doubt intel ever made all that much money off of apple to start with. the 5g and generally being unable to build a 1-chip-soc ever was when they really publicly bled.

but generally all part of some broader dysfunction.

financially Apple is a tiny part of intel sales.

reputation-wise Apple is seen as setting the direction for the PC and consumer electronics industry. intel is worried about a domino effect once Apple has blazed the way. remember that arm windows and chromebook and Linux machines already existed, but were largely unwanted. Apple’s MacBook Air is getting amazing reviews, and a lot of PC makers will be pressing Microsoft and their chip vendors to give them similar options.

whether intel has internalized the scope of the problem before the M1 destroyed their competing products, they probably understand it now.

if anything, intel is probably more worried about arm making inroads into the server market, since their main business is shipping truckloads of high-margin xeons to enterprise customers

i lent my brother a 3gb GTX580(full fat fermi!)to hold him over like 2 years ago for Madden and it’s still in service. tbf it’s every bit as powerful as my 1050ti(on iommu bitch duty) but at like 5x the tdp, lol.

killed because they were selling bad chips that nobody wanted. now they’re going to take their bad chip ideas and force them into these nuvia chips and guess how that will turn out?

Cybernetic Vermin

remains to be seen, qualcomm management was savvy enough to axe their own internal junk pretty quick, and to sew up the market using their actual competitive advantage (functioning modems) paired with barely touched arm reference designs, so might just let nuvia do that work without severe interference.
