There’s a 600$ Macbook now running ARM. Hopefully it can run Linux soon.

given the pace of asahi Linux on m series macbooks youre going to be waiting for a few years

the person didn’t ask for qualcomm/mediatek/nvidia/endless based arm chips, he specifically asked for the new macbook(implied neo) running linux soon because the term “it” was used to refer to it. Arm can already run linux, which would be redundant question to ask.
2 monthsQualcomm I doubt will be any better, which means if AMD or Intel don’t step up in the ARM space, then the best bet is nVidia and their 95% GPU market share.

Apple has their own SoCs based on ARM called “Apple Silicon”
Right, but what does your reply have to do with the comment they replied to

We all wish they would run Linux but they never will without Apples blessing.

Price increases when demand goes up, or supply goes down.
It’s only cheap when supply exceeds demand. They’re cutting supply here.
To win the AI pop, you gotta have a supply of ECC motherboards ready to go when it all gets scrapped.

Idk, covid showed us they won’t ever decrease the prices. Economic theory be damned in the age of short term profits over everything
Hah, you have no power here…I can barely afford the RAM already…
Feels like a war on the PC…cthulhu help us…

In a few years there will be shit loads of irrelevant AI crap that no-one will be able to use because they can’t buy devices. These AI companies seem like a predator that goes extinct because it has eaten all its potential prey.

people will be able to buy devices, but only devices that are so crappy they can’t run AI (or games) locally
These currently include the Intel Core Ultra processors, which have been quite popular among gamers over the past year or so.
The person who wrote this article has exactly ZERO idea about the current market situation and is probably working for userbenchmarks.
I just checked some CPU sales data from retailers here in EU and AMD has currently >90% market share.
So nobody really cares…
People still buy intel CPUs? I think my last Intel CPU was the P3 I got for $100 when I worked at CompUSA in 1999-2000.

Their low power chips are good for sub 200 dollar mini pcs.

They are competitive, especially given motherboard prices. I used it for my wife as someone agnostic to it.
- Pycorax@sh.itjust.worksEnglish2 months
They’ve picked themselves quite a bit since last year and are actually very competitive on laptops. They’ve still got ways to go for desktop but the changes they’ve made since are promising.

When the value of a dollar declines, you need more dollars to buy things. Normally, Intel sets prices plenty high at launch so they don’t have to raise them later, but extraordinary times…

Yeah good luck with that.
What was it like less than a year ago they had ones fry inside people computers?
I’m sure they forgot.
- BlackLaZoR@lemmy.worldEnglish2 months
Worse, they were widely used for gaming servers and those fried too.
Apple’s integrated CPU, GPU and high bandwidth RAM has won the price/performance war. Neither Intel nor AMD have yet to offer a comparable product line that meets Apple’s design. They value upgradability via low bandwidth DIMMS and continue to lose customers.
