Intel historically hasn't been too big in the console gaming market, at least CPU-wise. Previous generations we've got players like IBM making the chips for the Xbox 360, PS3, and GameCube. AMD made the CPUs on the Xbox One and Playstation 4, along with the upcoming Xbox Series X and Playstation 5.

The only somewhat modern game console I can recall with any Intel Inside was the original Xbox, with what was essentially a Pentium III Coppermine CPU. Other than that, they haven't really been a player in console gaming for nearly twenty years.

They will really begin to feel the pinch from these latest Ryzen CPUs in the desktop gaming market. AMD had definitely been eating more and more of the value market, but Intel had still been holding the IPC/clock rate wins so it often had a little bit of an edge over AMD for those who don't mind to spend a little premium to get the highest framerates. This launch may make this no longer be true.

I see the server market skipping over and and moving to arm. The Apple silicon makes it easier for Silicon Valley Devs to use an arm ecosystem. That way dev/test/staging/prod is the same ish binaries.

We moved some of our AWS things over to "a" instances as they were cheaper per unit of performance than the intel ones. They've been great

"why is this gate here, let's rip it out!"

I've worked a lot of places where there was consumer grade and enterprise grade. Sometimes the distinction was more on the marketing side of the scale sometimes less so.

But the enterprise customers always got WAY better service. If you're running a business chaos is your enemy and it is costly.

Lenovo just release enterprise workstation with threadrippers. Just ordered a few P620s for the team. They are compilation monsters.

Please don't say "boomer" here. Can you make your point without resorting to ageism and bigotry?
