The CEO of Intel was fired for sex crimes

AMD released Ryzen and Threadripper which surpass Intel in every way

Intel can't make a 10nm processor to compete with um everyone else

Apple is on track to drop Intel by 2020*

Smartphones were invented, Intel spent $10 billion and failed to be a substantial phone chip maker

* And because of insider knowledge of this, PC OEMs have been demanding an ARM version of Windows. Essentially the whole notebook industry has been planning to drop x86 and Intel for years.

My only PC is a Lenovo W520 with an i7, seems needs suiting?

I only really use it for the old-rear end games I like to play though so maybe AMD is better?

I dunno.

it hasn't been the case for a really long time unless you want to play every poorly optimized AAA game on day one of release at the absolute highest graphics settings on a high resolution high refresh rate monitor

and if u care that much about video games u got some goddamn problems

The article says he was engaged in a consensual relationship with another Intel employee and that the non-fraternizing policy "applies to all managers". Resigning over that is something I would never expect from a CEO of an American company

no that story is completely laughable

there are details being covered up, and being permitted to resign with his reputation intact was the deal made

hell, same, it OCed out of box to 4.3 ghz and only a few things are CPU locked. my gpu died so i have a 1070 ti and very little sits below 60 fps for my modest screen so i guess its another few years with intel for me

the amd releasing a good cpu for once thing is irrelevant but everything else is pretty problematic op

i hope whoever we get after the Intel tyranny is toppled can figure out how to drive one 5k screen per thunderbolt port
