Might just as well compare it with EPYC/Xeon.. would be about as meaningful. If we just ignore price and power usage entirely it’s pretty pointless. Of course Studio and the Mac Pro probably don’t really offer such great value as the M

I think they meant that compared to specific chips. AMDs x3D chips are exceptionally good for gaming but are relatively very poor for MT “productivity” stuff (this gen seems to be a lot better at that, though). 13/14th gen also seeming

By the same measurement there are no skyscrapers in the US and everyone lives in farmsteads because the average population density just 38/km2? Singapore is ~56x smaller than the Netherlands which makes it hardly comparable..

Did you paste the wrong link? That’s a population growth map, not immigration specifically? Also it’s from 2022… I mean you might be right or wrong but declining population in California doesn’t mean that a lot of immigrants are moving ther

Virginia and Maryland were on the brink of invading DC (had the government continued to resist deploying the National Guard and the riot got even more out of hand) with all the bizarre consequences of that… To be fair it’s not like the mob

US has generally done alright? It comes down to who the immigrants are and how much money are they making. If they are in high value industries like tech how can they not generate any value?

Intel is not on the brink of bankruptcy, though. Unless things change drastically Nvidia would have a much harder time trying to buy them than they did with ARM.

We unless you have enough money to actually bribe the FTC and the European Commission (and equivalent in China and UK) then no, there are things that matter about as much or more than money.
