These currently include the Intel Core Ultra processors, which have been quite popular among gamers over the past year or so.

The person who wrote this article has exactly ZERO idea about the current market situation and is probably working for userbenchmarks.

I just checked some CPU sales data from retailers here in EU and AMD has currently >90% market share.

So nobody really cares...

Yeah good luck with that.

What was it like less than a year ago they had ones fry inside people computers?

I'm sure they forgot.

Buying intel cpus in 202X?

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Im sure the competition wouldnt dream of it so

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 98 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Demands go up, prices go up, demand goes down prices go up

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

There's a 600$ Macbook now running ARM. Hopefully it can run Linux soon.

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 14 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

given the pace of asahi Linux on m series macbooks youre going to be waiting for a few years

[–] jobbies@lemmy.zip -2 points 7 hours ago (4 children)

ARM isn't just Apple Silicon.

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

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.

[–] ahornsirup@feddit.org 1 points 4 hours ago

Linux on Snapdragon isn't in a great place either.

[–] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

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.

Apple has their own SoCs based on ARM called "Apple Silicon"

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 45 minutes ago)

Right, but what does your reply have to do with the comment they replied to

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

8GB ram though.

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 28 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] ChristerMLB@piefed.social 2 points 4 hours ago

people will be able to buy devices, but only devices that are so crappy they can't run AI (or games) locally

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 14 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Their low power chips are good for sub 200 dollar mini pcs.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Yep, those are the only ones I've bought since roughly 1999.

[–] maplesaga@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

They are competitive, especially given motherboard prices. I used it for my wife as someone agnostic to it.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 hours ago

china is reportedly preparing to take over the consumer cpu market.

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

How about a 90% reduction in the buying?

[–] MangoCats@feddit.it 13 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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...

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

"Why is everyone taking up old time hobbies?" Mmmhmm.

[–] PushButton@lemmy.world -2 points 6 hours ago

They are talking like they were still in the game.
