            Computers is a fucking hot song, the drums are on point, the buildup and energy screeching about vr porn, the singularity and black holes until it all halts for a sax solo. Don’t forget 3G.

            You lot in the states need more of this and less of diddly tromp.

      If Intel didn’t have yield issues for over a decade, wouldn’t they be much further ahead than AMD by now?

      Kinda weird how their production problems conveniently coincide with what will keep them “neck n’ neck” with the competition for as long as possible.

        Intel made some massive mistakes with their post 14nm nodes, they overextended and fell on their own sword.

        Admittedly what Intel were aiming for with their “10nm” node had higher density than tsmc’s “7nm” (from memory), considering the timeframe that would have been another massive leap for Intel; and if they had pulled it off AMD would be struggling like the bulldozer days.

        22nm to 14nm Intel were on fire, almost seemed untouchable for quite some time. X99 was (in my eyes) the biggest leap in the right direction and probably their best consumer platform ever released. Huge cache, moar cores, pcie lanes for days and a refresh on their latest node (6950x).
