Intel's next move is the 11th Gen Rocket Lake, set for Q1 2021. Doesn't seem very compelling to me. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16145/intel-confirms-rocket-l...

Wow, no discussion on Hacker News about this yet? This is a pretty big change in the PostgreSQL world! Someone did post the announcement, but it didn't get any attention. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24641251

Bummer, Python 3.9.0 RC1 just missed it! It bundles SQLite 3.32.3. Ah well, I guess we can look forward to it in 3.9.1 in a few months.
