Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Good investment.

A zillion phones per year, and Apple in the bucket, only a matter fo time before Intel yields... And then you dominate the world.

May also get blocked by EU or China in the same way that the Qualcomm--NXP deal was scuppered.

Wow, that's insane news.

Must be the 4 x expected sales of their new 3080 graphics card that netted them the money to do this.

The only answer to that is unprintable

But I agree with you.
