At one point I was also reliant on a gaming laptop, (thankfully 17 inch and with a dGPU), but desktops (with nice ~30 inch monitors) are just so much better.

Both AMD and Intel want to be in the position Nvidia is in right now. ~3 players is not enough for a true free market.

Trump is a bigger national security concern than fucking TP-Link and no one in power is seriously talking about removing him.

There is an abstract ironic beauty to this.

I would assume their handheld focused chips will be in the 5-10 W range.

The tropes/motifs of 80s and 90s cyberpunk are really coming to life. 😀

It would be a big win for Intel if they could make performant GPUs using their own fabs. Let's see what happens.

I am assuming this would be a driver for risc-v adoption.

That being said, from a consumer perspective, all risc-v offerings (SBCs, laptops) are far worse than ARM in every possible metric; performance, price, software support. Performance in particular seems to be atrocious even on a non-dollar weighted basis (one would expect less economies of scale with risc-v products).

There is no way ARM will be able to manage the inherent conflict of interest in being both a CPU design company and platform provider.

Also interesting to see ARM buying out Ampere. Makes perfect sense, let's see if they will be able to capitalize on Ampere and don't run it to the ground.

SoftBank is also closing in on the acquisition of Ampere, an Oracle-backed chip designer of Arm-based chips for servers that could be valued at close to $6.5bn. That deal is central to Arm’s own chipmaking project, people familiar with the plans said.

Compared to most "breakthrough" techniques, this one does sound like it could be implemented in somewhat realistic timeframes (i.e. within ~5 years).

It's too early to say if this will result in cheaper or denser NAND chips for consumers. The technique still needs to be proven commercially viable and scaled for mass production. Even if manufacturers adopt the process, there's no guarantee that any cost savings will trickle down to consumers.

Couple of days, or even a week or two is fine, it's when they are months behind it can become a problem.

I like F-Droid, but does anyone else find that the versions in their repos often lag behind the current release (sometimes significantly so)?

I was referring to PC components in general.

TSMC is well positioned to pass on tariff costs, it's not like their is a viable alternative to their services.
