As a c++ developer it has been indeed impossible to figure out what ui stack to use from Microsoft. We ended up choosing Qt because it seemed to have much lesser roadmap uncertainty.

Does using the system change power consumption / battery life?

Its not even the RAM that annoys me the most about Electron - its the hit to the battery life.

I grew up in a developing country, for a long time my computer purchase decisions were overwhelmingly driven by price. Cheaper SKUs see far greater diverse use than you suspect.

Unless you are using the chips for something like compiling source code or running VMS, in which case the workloads scale almost linearly and the Zen lineup ends up looking like great value for money.

Excellent! I have a soft spot for openbsd as a workstation os. Will give it a try again once this hits a release.

The issue is that they are slipping on things they used to be good at. They are a lousy bookstore now and even the general retail experience has seriously regressed.

Because the code is already validated / tuned and deployed on AMD parts. For a while NVidia dragged their feet on OpenCL so validating the app on their hardware was not possible.

There was an announcement last year that AMD FirePro™ S9300 x2 were coming to Google cloud. Any reason why those have not hit general release yet? I have some OpenCL workloads that I could put to good use on those.
