Eben says to embrace the Pico and buy the rPi400 because it does not compete with orders from industrial customers (that spent bazillions on testing/certification of their rPi4/rPi3-derived products and therefore receive some priority above the poor huddled masses yearning to breath free air). If you aren't down with Pico yet, I recommend googling Limor Fried and searching her company's site. As far as Intel goes, they've been on oxygen for decades with the technological advancements they appropriated from DEC, while at the same time selling off the DEC-designed StrongARM technology and exploring new ways to generate heat and waste power. At this point, they have a formal relationship with TSMC and a government mandate to turn the Rust Belt into the Silicon Belt, so don't count them out (unless you are 75 or something, because it will be 10-15 years for all of that to happen), but to guys like me (and I would imagine most people on a site like this), they're about as relevant now as IBM (/s) In the meantime, we need to convince Apple to sell its consumer chipsets, maybe with an incentive from USA (either money or an agreement not to prosecute them for investing so much training and capital in China that they feel comfortable announcing their plan on TV yesterday to murder as many people as necessary to return Taiwan to 1895 legal structure).
