It likely will stabilize, but it might become more of an enthusiast market. People don’t necessarily need a PC anymore.

Do you mean the efficiency question? I’m just deducing if they were competitive in servers Intel would jump at that opportunity.

As for the PC market, just looking at unit sales: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_share_of_personal_computer_vendors

And as for margins, well the exact information is a bit hard to find but in general lower end products have tighter margins and the buyers for them are more price sensitive.

Eh unless they have the most efficient overall, they won’t make inroads into the server market. The entry level laptop and desktop markets are getting smaller and has less margins.

They missed the last catch? 5 was caught, 6 was not caught, and 7 (this latest one) was caught.

What’s the legal difference in Mexico between an AK and a machine gun? If the $1200 is for a semi AK, it’s only an extra $100 for a select fire one?

Extension cord and it’ll use electric heating.

Then don’t buy it…? It’s just an option if you don’t want to carry an extra device.

From what I hear it’s useful for traveling. You can have a phone and tablet in one.

Honestly the lossy compression algorithms are some real magic. The way video can be streamed over wireless networks at all is pretty astonishing and requires many orders of magnitude of compression.

If you ever have time, read up on how JPEG compression works.

I had a dream to protect the prince of Siam… except I didn’t even know where I heard the term Siam before (I know what it means now).

Yeah I don’t know if their idea was to court people who haven’t read the books, but this just leads to alienation of book readers and they failed to create a good show to begin with.
