Yeah this honestly makes me automatically rule out Intel in terms of hardware.
-
Yep, Intel is basically dead, unless Trump forces out the competition and only allows Intel to be sold. Intel has been shit for awhile now anyways.
Edit: And I highly advise everyone to NOT install any drivers downloaded from the Intel site. Only get drivers that have been vetted by a 3rd party. You can't trust that Turnip lackeys haven't added spyware.

Kinda did beforehand anyway. Their fabs are old and there's not much going on to build new ones or update, so.
shakes AMD's hand
You won! 🎉
Uh oh! Monopoly! I hope AMD isn't swayed by political actors into injecting malware into their chips, again.

I'm still gonna buy, an Intel GPU to encourage them to stay in the game and give Nvidia and AMD some competition.
They are also simply the best hardware you can get for Plex/Jellyfin transcoding

IF Trump is in any way involved I will NEVER buy anything that has Intel inside.
-
Intel will be all around.

It’s cocksure statements like this they have me absolutely convinced that they feel the same way and that will be their downfall so thank you for confirming that Intel is going down the shitter

Yay now the US has its own government-aligned Huawei, ByteDance, and so forth...

Intel's currently intriguing "worth buying" products: .

I'm sure this will end well-
Arc GPUs are worth buying at the moment to avoid a duopoly of Nvidia and AMD. AV1 support at a reasonable price can be a big deal for media preservation. At least on the CPU side there's competition from Apple, AMD, and other mobile processors that could theoretically enter the desktop market. Server CPUs are unfortunately looking bleak.

I wonder how many people are going to sell their shares because of this.

Who is writing this article? The stock's been up for the day, the week, and over the last month?
On what planet do investors shy away from a giant federal bailout of shareholders?

I suspect they're trying to trick retail investors to buy a dip that isn't there

Just imagine all the hardware level spy shit they're gonna do now.

LOL
Lmao even

I’m all for it. It’s the beginning movement towards proper socialism. I’m sure that’s not the commander in queefs goal but still.

It's absolutely not the beginning movement towards proper socialism.

That's just so infuriatingly dumb! So, so, so, so, so dumb.

Bro, did you vote for this asshole, kind of Sounds like you did

Trump ruins EVERYTHING he touches. Fact.
He's a viciously dumb mobster, of course he's going to twist their arm, like he personally owns place.
I agree but also Intel's been doing a bang-up job of offing themselves for a decade.
I'm willing to give some credit to the GPU dev team. Everybody else though? No.
I don't disagree with you on the self harm from Intel
At least everyone was leaving Intel anyway. Why pay more when AMD has hyperthreading now?
