This is so on point.
Consumers don't like it cause they're jealous that there are parts of the chip they can't use yet.
Enterprise LOVES this cause they don't want to pay for parts of the chip they can't use yet, but also forsee wanting to use it in the future. Comes down to a CapEx vs OpEx optimization and having that ability to fine tune that balance is a No 1 requested feature.
- citizenpaul 4y agoI wouldn't call it jealous or mad. Just kinda something close to sad. As I go though life I keep getting more aware of as silly as it sounds how many things are designed to strip "joy" from our lives. Even if you only wanted 5/10 of the cores or whatever in this thing and sure you paid less. There will always be that nagging feeling in the back of your head that there is a part of what you paid for being intentionally kept away from you. Effectively stripping your ability to have joy/happiness for your purchase. You don't deserve full use of your product because you didn't hustle/work/strive/stress/struggle hard enough to deserve it. Its just anti-human as all things are becoming now day.
- barkingcat 4y agomeh ... If there is a 5 story apartment building and you rented one apartment that is only a fraction of one of the floors would you be "sad" that you don't get to use all the unrented/empty units in all 5 stories of it? Of course if you want to rent 2 units, the landlord would be happy to give you the keys if you pay the rent for the second unit! I think the people who get sad at using 5/10 cores (and paying less for it) are being unreasonable. It's buffet syndrome, wanting it all and being too greedy. Now if the manufacturer made you pay all the cost of 10 cores and only letting you use 5, that's a different issue.
