Yes that makes sense, but what is then the goal of government funding in all of this? Is it just politics? Like we want to find out that Facebook corrupts our youth, so we fund research in that direction? Government seems to not care about

You are heavily downvoted, but I think you’re right. The Windows + Intel combo appears to be in serious trouble for the PC and laptop markets. The main problem I see is the slowing of Moore’s law and Dennard’s scaling. It used to be that yo
