You are not remembering things correctly if you think this is accurate. Remember that Intel's 64 bit implementation sucked dick.
It's a bit more complicated. Intel's first 64-bit chip was a totally different architecture: Itanium. It was designed for enterprise and used EPIC, which was a very poor Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) implementation which tried to move scheduling from the CPU itself to the compiler. It failed, as nearly ever VLIW design has, since writing compilers is hard enough without throwing scheduling into it. Then Intel licensed amd64 and starting making EM64T, their version of x86_64.
Intel still did as well or out preformed AMD on most lineups up until around the Xen architecture. Ryzen and EYPC were pretty big, but they wouldn't have been anywhere near as game changing had Intel not fucked up so bad on the 13th and 14th gen chips. They'd be deep into the FAB world right now if Gelsinger was still around.
I really hope Intel and AMD try to step up their GPU game. AMD's only high performance cards are their Instinct data center line which compete with nVidia in the $8k ~ $10k price range. Intel isn't taken seriously at all right now and it seriously looks like there's no way they can catch up at this point. Dropping out after the i740 back in the 90s was a big mistake for them.
Worst case scenario, RAM standards change, and now their precious sticks don't work anymore because that gap in between the pins is in the wrong location.
We still haven't seen any CAMM2 or LPCAMM2 cards outside of prototype motherboards and maybe one Lenovo laptop. It was thought that big change would start with DDR6. CAMM would be a massive memory standard change, but now with all the memory companies focusing on HBM and server ram, who knows if we'll even see that enter the market. Nanya, CXMT and other smaller manufactures could have an opportunity to make a strong offering in the consumer space for DDR6, but I have a feeling both will likely do what everyone else is doing and focus on server ram.
Truth. It's crazy how much Cheeto man's retarded followers (Not you, the ones that eat his shit up no matter what) blindly embrace the corporate-government oligarchy boot, just because this time it's not under a Democrat president.
I sometimes do worry about Steve going full lolcow, but I think he's done a pretty decent job of riding that line and recognizing both administrations don't really give a shit about people, calling both out with their bullshit but also ocasionally even prising both when they do something right. Politics can easily destory a PC hardware focused channel, so it will be very interesitng to see further videos on the consumer advocay channel.
I also wonder if he overworks his staff. They amount of stuff they do makes me think it's gotta be a 60+ hour a week shop for all of them.
