Yea Wendell did a great job. Excited to see what tip was given to Steve in his next video about this.

Never been happier with a CPU since I switched to Ryzen 4 years ago.

I'm still on my 1600x. Works fine for me on my 1080p monitor and not worrying about the best graphics.

We replaced our vm hosts recently with AMD ones - literally half the price with a lot more performance.

Xeon's always led the pack for enterprise hardware, but no longer. Confidence in Intel has been dropping for a while.

If my CPU looked like that, I'd be a tad worried.

What a multibillion dollar international company selling subpar or downright unusable products for additional profits?! In 2024?! Why that's practically SHOCKING!

Ed Zitron has just released two eps on the Better Offline podcast talking about how capitalism has been geared toward shareholder value and juicing numbers over making products and services that work well. The first ep is overloaded and has audio clipping / distortion. It gets better part way through, but it's unpleasant if you're an audio nerd. The second ep has proper levels. Worth a listen. It's especially hard on tech companies, though not without cause.

This isn’t news, it’s just new that people are calling them out on it

x86 has hit the end of its development lifecycle, but that’s a slow and expensive ship to turn
