More modern x86 comes with significant problems.
The minimum is now eight cores on a die for both AMD and Intel, so running a quad core system means staying on 14nm. You may loudly criticize holding back on a quad core system, but you aren't paying $47,500 per core to license Oracle Enterprise database.
The eight core minimum is a huge detriment for commercial software that is licensed by core.
This, and this alone, shatters your argument. Any other questions?
- RealStickman_ 1y agoYou can still get quad cores, here's an Epyc CPU with four cores [0] Here's also a recent Xeon quad core [1] Beside that, could you please show me where the F-Droid build server uses an Oracle Database?

- chasil 1y agoI don't know if F-Droid uses Oracle, and I don't care. For any software licensed by core count, modern systems are usually at a disadvantage. Next question please.
