Isn't the goal a 22% workforce reduction now? https://www.reuters.com/business/intel-is-cutting-more-jobs-ceo-tan-tries-fix-manufacturing-missteps-2025-07-24/ Using "fired" very loosely there; some of it is attrition and not rehiring, some encouraging retirement and maybe some forced early...

ChromeOS?

Upscaling, frame-gen, and low-latency all need to be tightly woven into the graphics API's -- DirectX, Vulkan, and Metal. From there, if the vendors want to have some differentiated features based on their AI software and hardware, that's fine -- I say go for. For example, that might be to...

Tisk tisk... certainly a game I won't be playing. Just sounds buggy in general, for one thing.

How many drives can top that? Enterprise SSD's, that is. Such are built for sustained writes day in and day out, not bursting writes like consumer drives. Plus, first-gen SSD controllers on a new PCIe version tend to lag behind the bus' full speeds.

Good grief, what would happen if nVidia didn't have another opportunity to make even more money? That would be awfully shameful!

My son games on wireless just fine. You don't competitively game on wireless. Wi-Fi 6 and 6E will get far lower than 150-200 ms, especially if gaming PC is in the same room as the Wi-Fi router. More reliable Wi-Fi is always a win IMO. Wi-Fi 6 seemed to take a step backwards somehow... I...

Great! Gaming GPU's really need these 3 GB mem chips.

I agree. Until Intel really marries up with Uncle Sam (not a measly $3 Bn order) by wooing enough of Congress and a little more buy-in from whoever the sitting POTUS is, I think they're going to be running on fumes. The big beautiful bill already passed, so it's a miss for this fiscal year...

Really? Business problems can happen from pretty much literally anything. You might not want to hear it, but silencing a conversation is pretty anti-Free Speech and controlling in nature. Not hiring necessarily the best person for the job can create issues. It's a real concern with the FAA...

You keep making blanking statements and calling large swaths of people names. Silencing dissenting thinking is an attempt to control the conversation and quite anti-free-speech. Everyone has an opinion on THN, but not all opinions are appropriate to share out loud. First: why wouldn't the...

My sentiment. I realize that Intel is trying to be much more honest and upfront about issues that could impact investors (filing SEC reports demonstrates this), which I commend them for. Still, this is something that should be kept internal to Intel, not expressed publicly. At this point, I'm...

Dang, this got intense, lol. Thank you for that deep-dive and elaboration, @abufrejoval . I don't mean to hype up NPU's... indeed Windows uses Phi Silica, a Small Language Model, to run things locally on Copilot PC's, as benefits are limited today. The two letters "AI" have been the biggest...

2nd mistake: using extensions for everything

Exactly. Regular Strix Point (up to the HX 375) has a configurable TDP of 15 - 54W -- exactly why Z2 Extreme (comparable to Ryzen 7 AI 360) is feasible in a handheld as it is a Strix Point APU. Strix Halo has a minimum cTDP of of 45W, which pretty much makes it a non-starter. Now, with Zen 6...
