Debit card transactions in the US are capped to 0.05% + 21c for non-exempt card issuers[0]. The problem is there are a lot of exempt issuers. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durbin_amendment

Currently announced Intel foundry customers include: Mediatek, Broadcom, Microsoft, and Ericsson. I'm probably missing some here, and there are almost certainly some unannounced customers.

At the $65/month level for an OVH dedicated server, you get a 6-core CPU from 2018 and a 500Mbps public network limit. Doesnt even seem like that good a deal. There is also a $63/month option that is significantly worse.

A better comparison of efficiency is task energy, which the article did cover. In a video encoding task, the 8700G used 30% less energy than the 14600K, but it actually used more energy than a 13400.
