Imagine how much quicker the fair pricing would be if there were standards and regulations, like what goes into every other aspect of its design.
- pjc50 7y agoI think this is a poor example for the pro-regulation argument; it's a more or less classical market where competition drives innovation, but the cost of entry is very high. The only applicable regulation I can think of might be "dual sourcing".
- another-one-off 7y agoI can't quite interpret what you are saying; so I'll say what I hope you are saying: If the x86 and x86_64 instruction sets became an open standard so that anyone could implement them; that would be great for consumers. If Intel is in a position to halve prices in the face of competition there are obviously not enough players in the market.
