Why haven't Intel and AMD caught up with Apple Silicon yet? (hexbear.net)

Is ARM the only way to get there? And if so, why isn't Microsoft pushing for Windows on ARM? Are they too busy working on Copilot?

amd and lunar occupation lake are fine, apple chips has been creeping up in power consumption actually. Windows sleep manager is just dogshit.

lemme just turbo this piece of shit processor to 5 ghz to unroll this library on website 10 ms faster, this will not jeopardize my trying to stay at 1 ghz range, at all (but i won't start second core with this nonsense at 1 ghz, because that's energy inefficient)

Windows itself is shit. Adding all the Spyware has slowed the OS to a crawl and vibe coding has filled the OS with bugs. MacOS is amazing( before the Liquid Glass Bs but I haven't upgraded yet) when it comes to user experience on a desktop level.

x86 is great on Linux.

just install cracked win 10 and turn off telemetry shrug-outta-hecks i mean, i haven't noticed particular difference on battery life between linux and windows, although i do use-use computer, and not watch videos where they get 10-20-30 hours of battery life.
