    Real quick, does anyone want this? It’s another competitor in a rather centralized market, so it’s good we’re seeing some adequate competition, but the product they’re pushing is designed specifically for “AI and cloud workloads”. Their marketing towards datacenters seems to indicate the AI focus, but at the expense of performance to non-AI applications. In a nutshell, I do believe it’ll excel with AI, but “Cloud workflows” sounds like marketing lingo for “Lol this CPU can’t handle heavy tasks.”

    Yeah, it’s all speculation from me here, but if manufacturers are pressured to drop AMD for Nvidia’s CPUs, this seriously looks like the first significant push to a standard where your computer only exists to access a server, where you don’t own your own services.
