Unfortunately, it could only be an improvement after the 13th generation problems. I strongly believe that Intel owes me $150 after releasing a firmware update

  You lack imagination. Broadcom brings a whole slew of problems you may not have thought possible. We couldn't bet them to actually give us a quote to purchase VMware licenses for a new cluster (to replace the current one, as we're a current customer) for the first five months of 2024. Multiple month long freezes in sales while they restructured pricing, multiple times. Their goal isn't necessarily to run a business that's profitable long term, it may be to segment it out and squeeze various segments to wring the last bits of juice out of them until leaving a dried husk while providing middling quality to the most lucrative segments to string them along. You don't want to be in the segment destined to be juiced.

  Intel has "software defined, license activated" features baked in the silicon now. It's a wet dream for Broadcom. > You need AVX only? It's only bundled with all AVX flavors and vector operations add-on pack, just for $500/socket/year* (*:for processors up to 10 cores. For higher core counts and SMT enabled options please reach out to your nearest Broadcom sales representative). ref: Intel on Demand (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/ondemand/overview.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/ondema...)
