Wow, I’m continually floored by how bad Intel shit the bed.
I remember not too long ago the only computer you would see is a “wintel” with a few esoteric graphic designers in Mac.
I guess it’s now “warm”?

- hehdhdjehehegwv 2y agoNot only that, it probably saved Apple!
- DamnYuppie 2y agoThe iPod saved Apple, the iPhone made it the powerhouse it is now. Everything else seems like marginal impact. The new chip is nice and helps them have more control over and lower prices but as of yet doesn't seem to be an immediate game changer.

- Dalewyn 2y agoIntel (and AMD) are also going to be part of this line of computers: >We look forward to expanding through deep partnerships with Intel and AMD, starting with Lunar Lake and Strix. We will bring new Copilot+ PC experiences at a later date. I'm not blaming Microsoft for skipping Meteor Lake, it's been an awkward generation to say the least. Of course, if Lunar Lake sees delays then Intel really has shat the mattress.
