But the desktop side is very bleak, and only AMD can bring a real gamechanger

But would be much more sweet with Zen/Polaris APU

If they don't, we'll sit on the same performance bubble for the next decade or so

yep

What I hope for

Is that we change architecture, and like with mobile CPUs, sees a whole bunch of companies competing

Intel did it right, so they deserve the money too

can you really compain and say hey please take back your archievements?

Well

Intel gave rise to the cheap Chink tablets

and be slower like AMD

Is to design a revolutionary mechanical exoskeleton using a networked system of electrostatic coupling to be more efficient than ever before, at a much lighter weight?

or is that just me

With their attempt to buy into the market

heh

They failed though

Dropped the Atoms

It doesn't matter for us

I really wanted a chink developer board with Atom

they sold $20 CPUs with normal arch

b..but ARM CPUs anon

Would make for a sweet dev board

We still got those 90 bucks tablets that are way more powerful than they have the right to be

And the compute sticks

I've got one, an Orange Pi PC powered with shark sdcard

NUC's, wew

Going for 60 bucks or something atm, I think

It's nice and all, bot Cortex-A7 quad-core with 1.2GHz clock running armhf

It's far from a regular desktop CPU in many ways

That's why you get a compute stick

It was $20 though

pretty cheap for things like these

well, this is /csg/

compute stick?

lol

yeah, NUC's

Board

BOARD

Well, whatever you call em

I like to call em sticks
