I believe consumer discrete graphics have already been hit, but that might more due to pro AI demand.

Leaks suggest it will be a while before Nvidia will be used for graphics, hopefully Arc not only survives, but also improves till then.

I am not too surprised that they are giving up on the P/E core model. AMD's approach seems much more sane where the "efficiency" cores still have full functionality of the full fat cores.

More intense competition for AMD's X3D line is also a good thing. AMD needs more pressure for price competition and more consumer friendly product management policies.

I am not really all too happy about the switch to Nvidia for graphical acceleration, this sounds like a state sanctioned initiative and it will only serve to reduce the minimal competition we have in the GPU market (Chinese GPUs aren't really viable where I live; I am talking about purely pragmatic reasons, ignoring broader considerations with using Chinese GPUs in this particular case).

You're still using a platform upon which Google has an enormous influence, including making life much more difficult for projects like GrapheneOS. And I think it's only a matter of timer before they'll take more aggressive measures.

Btw, I am not saying one should or shouldn't use a Pixel with GrapheneOS.

An interesting thought experiment, but the $300 price is not realistic for any company other than SBCs makers (let alone Apple).

I also feel desktop computing is fundamentally a different sort of experience where there is a bigger emphasis on flexibility (both in terms of hardware and the software platform).

While this is a good initiative from South Korea (recycled older devices are often good enough for basic web usage and media consumption), a much better initiative would be to investigate Samsung and SK Hynix, who are basically colluding to maintain tight supply by refusing to build more capacity.

I missed the power consumption table, I assumed it was 120 W Max (with Turbo).

A performance and price competitive SKU from Intel! Who could have thought?

Or is this some sort of fake launch that is meant to capitalize on lack of memory and SSDs?

IRL cyberpunk :)

I initially (just for a brief moment) thought intel somehow add Direct3D (DirectX) support on their CPUs without turning it into an iGPU.
