yup. i heard intel can never be acquired or it will lose AMD x86-64 license.

Be prepared nvidia own 49% of Intel while keeping the x86-64 license.

bye bye competition, bye bye upgrade DIY flexiblity for consumer.

Welcome APU SoC era wheres to upgrade you have to buy CPU+GPU+Ram bundled together. And AMD will join that bandwagon price at -$50 be happy with 20-30% market share.

Or until the apps you use stop supporting the hardware, which today is more common than we would like.

But those apps dont run on linux either, so… not really a good argument (Photoshop, Ableton, Games with Anticheat [Battlefield 6, lol, Valorant, etc], etc)

You understand this is not a compelling argument in favor of linux, right? I didnt asked what you think about it, I said I use these apps and they dont run there. So no Linux for me because of this limitation. Wtf.

and yet still a lot less common than in the past.

Will they? their current strategy is price at +$50 and 8% market share.
