This smells like they are preparing for the collapse of openAI and Anthropic, so they can keep selling back to consumers
I hope you're right. It's time for private equity to take a massive beating.
Now that nobody can afford to buy a new computer, they’re definitely gonna make billions!
Sold three computers and got a billion in revenue, right
So in a twisted fucked up way apple becomes the more affordable option…. Wow
It just works
I’m expecting this to fall flat on its face the same way Windows RT did.
It’s an ARM based processor, which would be fine for Linux, but they keep mentioning Microsoft and Windows. Microsoft already tried an ARM approach but it failed because it had a very limited software set.
Unlike Linux, almost all binaries are compiled for x86, not ARM. So companies would either have to supply their source code to compile on install, or compile ARM binaries in advance, which I don’t see a lot doing.
Edit: they could also try x86 emulation, which would be even worse and would have its own compatibility and performance issues.
Windows on ARM with Snapdragon processors is a regular thing right now. I don't know how well they are selling or how well they perform, but it is definitely past Windows RT 2.0 already. I am pretty sure they are doing x86 comparability.
You'd think so, but Windows runs better on snapdragon today than Linux. I was very interested in buying one, but in the current state it's a toy for enthusiasts.
Call your brokers and short leather jackets.
Alrighty then with only a few folks in the industry that makes chips and creates them.. it’s perfect time to have a third party to grow and dominate the gaming industry and gaming industry a lone. Custom made from modems, routers, pc or console, handhelds that streamline the usage for gaming and or video management.
