[QUOTE="KAKAN, post: 2523487, member: 103321"] Wow, that sounds kinda bad. And not unexpected. I think they did that previously for one of their mobile chips too? I remember seeing it all over the news back then, as well. Honestly, I want them to succeed, if nothing, at least it'll make Intel perhaps focus more on lower power division. Their upcoming Lunar Lake sounds nice, wonder how it'll compare. Regardless, this is a really exciting time to be in if you're a spectator and a terrible time if you're a consumer looking to buy their next device haha My only gripe with the whole ARM thing is how little standards there are for messing around with stuff. BIOS, for one. And most of the firmware is also closed source. [I]Not the Linux kernel ofcourse, those are GPL'd.[/I] It's weird when you consider that Qualcomm only supports chipsets for, what, 2 to 3 years(?) while Intel/AMD support older generations for much longer, for e.g., even 5th generation Intel CPUs got the microcode update for patching those nasty exploits of some time ago. I wonder how good compatibility will be in the long-term. People run 10 to 15 year old laptops quite easily still, I wonder how it'll turn out for Qualcomm/ARM devices. [/QUOTE]
