This should mean that most affected CPUs will have a 5-year warranty.

    I know we’re all pretty mad at Intel right now but I really hope they do manage to recover because we’ve all seen what happens to the industry when there’s no competition.

      It may be that other companies can compete using ARM/RISC architectures. The only reason the current duopoly exists is the cross licensing between x64 and x86, now that apple has proved ARM can be competitive we will see what happens there!

        Already are. Several manufacturers are delving into the ARMs race (get it?). They can’t yet quite compete on the same level as Apple’s silicon in every metric, but a few more years, and they’ll likely have general feature parity.

          An ARM laptop that can run mainline Linux out of the box and performs at an M1 level or better would be phenomenal. Sign me up.

                I meant more that they’d be at feature parity with whatever current gen Apple is on. They’re already close or better in some metrics, but Apple silicon is still the clear overall winner.

      Intel is a huge company. There’s no way the US government lets them go under. The effects on national security would be disastrous.

      Not only that, Intel is the only hedge against China deciding to go ahead with its invasion of Taiwan and destroying the western computer chip lead.

      Though IMO government funds like CHIPs should be issued via stock buys instead of grants. Especially if it’s a bailout. And the government, as an investor, should be looking out for the public’s best interest rather than purely seeking profit.
