That's so... Naive? The reality is that the chips will cost the same and Intel will pocket the extra margin. And the rent.
Consumers are already used to pay X for CPU, the price tolerance is already established. What makes you think that Intel will want to cut their profit margins?
- zamadatix 5y agoWhile I agree Intel will likely pocket more after this is implemented ever increasing costs seems more like a market problem (i.e. lack of competition or other pressures to incentivize lowering margins for greater total profit due to sales volume) and optimizations like this only make competition easier.
