Hah, you have no power here…I can barely afford the RAM already…

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…

Buying intel cpus in 202X?
Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Im sure the competition wouldnt dream of it so

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.
grue@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yep, those are the only ones I’ve bought since roughly 1999.

They are competitive, especially given motherboard prices. I used it for my wife as someone agnostic to it.

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.
Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
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.world 2 months ago
Worse, they were widely used for gaming servers and those fried too.

How about a 90% reduction in the buying?

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 hold up to upgradability via low bandwidth DIMMS and continue to lose customers.

Demands go up, prices go up, demand goes down prices go up

There’s a 600$ Macbook now running ARM. It can probably run Linux as well.

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
