Outside the extremes there is a significant overlap, though. Historically, outside of race/religion/ethnicity based slavery (where slaves were generally kidnapped foreigners/outsiders or their descendants), it was a generally

North America was at the end of the logistics chain which resulted in higher prices, though. Also Native American slavery in the 1600s and 1700s was pretty huge (relative to the size of European populations) so there wasn't as much dem

Nobody (well the market) expected Nvidia's revenue to start growing exponentially, though. Now it's forecasted to grow by at least 20% per year for the next 3 years. So presumably everything above that is not priced in.

This is a laptop chip, though. Upgradeability seems to be not a thing anymore at this point anyway (besides maybe an m2 slot or two). I don't think Lunar Lake even supports non-soldered memory even if the laptop manufacturer wanted to

Less than any of their major competitors like Qualcomm or even Nvidia buying Intel. In any case I find it hard to imagine that regulators in US, EU, UK, China etc. would ever approve this unless Intel was on the actual brink of bankruptcy.

Is TDP directly comparable in this case? e.g. on desktops or even laptops AMD/Intel tend to define it pretty differently.

Polishing marble, limestone etc. (as opposed to just engraving something on a rock) still requires skilled workers, equipment etc. The small, underdeveloped early colonies couldn't really sustain such a specialized industry.

Sure, of course it doesn't always work. Did I imply otherwise? Especially for minor annoyances, design optimizations/flaws like USB-C, glued batteries, no side-loading etc. that don't outweigh the other advantages that specif

That's not the same though at all.. A closer analogy would be publicly announcing that "Company managing the storage lockers 1234 Central Boulevard, San Andreas is keeping all of them unlocked without telling their customers"

In the EU this would be illegal and (hopefully) lead to very high fines. So why would you try to help and conceal their criminal behaviour instead of reporting them? Of course in other places, there aren't really any good options. So I

We'll never really know though, will we? Or are you claiming that the endless patent related lawsuits (going both ways) had no impact on Intel's/Apple's efforts?
