Comment Re:After AMD's Blunder, Intel Burned Karma like Wo (Score 0) 74

What are you on about? You don't replace AMD boards with Intel anymore. Intel sucks. Go on, try to take someone's 9800X3D and replace it with a 285k. See what happens. Same goes for Turin and Granite Rapids or Turin-dense and Sierra Forest. Intel is only for a few niche applications (maybe) or price/availability.

There are plenty of people who agree with you. Unfortunately there are no lean, mean smaller rivals in American silicon manufacturing eagre to take their place. So what to do? Additionally, the American government has no idea how to go about fabricating chips on cutting-edge nodes.

There are the remnant's of Intel's battered competition from years gone by: Globalfoundries, IBM, TI, and others still. Maybe they need some incentive to get back in the game. Right now, the capital costs to build out modern fabs and carry out R&D are too high for any of them to seriously compete with TSMC or Intel.

Comment Re:Its about making chips, not return to x64-64 (Score 2) 74

There's nothing about modern x86 that makes it inferior to ARM (or vice versa). You may as well claim that they're both doomed because of RISC-V. Apple isn't interested in x86-64 and that's unlikely to change ever. Intel just wants a legit foundry customer. What Intel doesn't have (yet) is a process that anyone particularly wants, in volumes suitable for a company like Apple.

Sub in whatever other word for "fashion" that refocuses the discussion on a simple question: Do people even do that anymore? Apparently yes. What's interesting is that it was used as a trope in some American media (typically as a stereotype for overly-friendly - and older - French or Italian men that made Americans uncomfortable) years ago. You almost never hear about it anymore.
