Yes, it's an ancient dog. It's immensely complex to push the X86
architecture for speed, hence the power consumption and all the bugs.

Since its peak in 2024, Intel stock has lost 2/3 of its value.

About 1/3rd of that in the past 3 days..

Sorry, I meant 2022.

Intel is like Kodak and Polaroid and Xerox, fixated on their own aging
technology. Intel missed the boat big-time on EUV, so it's hilarious
that they project big revenues in the foundry business.

Intel has done $152 billion in stock buybacks, instead of investing in

Markets..
My Intel core I5 laptop is still much much faster than my ARM based Raspberry Pi4 8 GB
And even my old AMD 64 PCs are...

I do not realy like ARM architecture.

But things are changing" what's his name? just sold large parts of his Apple stock:
 https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/aug/03/berkshire-hathaway-warren-buffett-sells-off-apple-increases-cash-holdings


Writing bloat to sell more hardware is a silly game.
As silly as 'very old saying Archie? 'Do not fix it if it is not broken'
We had, at one time, a few guys doing 'preventive maintenance'
on electronic equipment in the studio.
Well some interesting fault finding required after that, my boss got stuck...
I fixed it in 10 minutes the next morning, the 'preventive maintenace' group had not properly tighened a PL259 connector, ground screen was loose
interference impulses everywhere (was fast tacho pulse cable).

US financial system, dollar value, I think the old plan was to inflate the debt away.
But grabbing Iranian oil could pay some US debt.
Follow the money
So have that notanyyahoo provoke as much war as possible to create a reason to invade Iran, sell more weapons,
even maybe go as far as to get Russia on line give it YouCrane
Its all games US plays.
This time it will not work, too many real nukes everywhere, US is so small, take a globe and look the ratio of noise the US
makes versus the rest of the world. compared to surface area..
Russia China Pakistan India all have their nukes... Probably some more N Korea...
Invade Iran for some silly lie, like George Double You Booooooos did for weapons of mass destruction that did not really exist in Iraq
more war crmes, Japan nuking, Afganistan, Korea, just a weapon manufacturer tha tUS is, and it even kills its own peole with thsoe all the time.
Criminal, genocide, no matter what.
And crap weapons it makes, there are people here protesting against the horrible noise the F35 makes that we bougt (our CIA controlled polly ticksians did)
What a piece of shit that F35
Should not be a problem to wipe out that US .
