Both PS5 and Xbox use AMD Zen 2 CPU. I guess you meant that PS5 and Xbox don't use Intel CPUs. I highly doubt Intel wants to be in the low margin business of supplying console CPUs. Intel's fortune is entirely dependent on whether

Die size is up too. At over 600 mm2, it’s a huge chip.

I liked the article, but it's not entirely clear to me what the cause of the problem was. Linux delays sending out data only if the data size is less than the packet size AND the previous packet in not yet ACKed (Nagle's algorithm

Lower power versions of what they put in Tegra / Switch? Or perhaps they can whip up something in 1-2 years. I'd be astonished if nVidia doesn't take any interest in smartphone GPUs after this acquisition.

Too much concentration of wealth and assets and way too much indebtedness. Consumer spending is maxed out in the US. A thought experiment: If you own the world, what would you want to do? Solar energy for those who have nothing to give you

Awesome! But there's some evidence that smoking reduces the risk of severe COVID somewhat, although that's not a good reason to start again!
