- dna_polymerase 5y agoAs good as they started over the past decades they made many shady business moves which eventually put them in the place of being the (de-facto) only CPU option around. Then they blew it all with Spectre. It's not like I especially like AMD, but I'd love to support a little more competition in the x86 market. Eventually I'd love to see consumer grade ARM available for non-Apple devices. Their premiums and lockin just don't make it attractive to buy an M1 MBP to install Linux on it.

- godDLL 5y agoApple's are better. AMD's can be better. Why look to Intel at all, if not for availability?
- ajvs 5y agoThey removed S3 sleep and don't have the performance:battery usage as AMD.
- bserge 5y agoAfaiu, they're planning on offering CPU upgrades/changes by having the whole system board replaced. I guess in this age of soldered CPUs (and other stuff), it's as good as it gets, but I wonder about the price.
