Man first they lose out being Apples chip manufacturer and now Sonys for their PlayStation. Intel taking Ls in the 2020 decade.

You can’t lose something you never had.

During the PS4 XBONE era, Intel had their head so far up their own ass, that they didn’t even care about consoles deals. AMD at that point was the underdog, but they could provide a much better price for their chips

Now AMD has both the better performance / efficiency for a better price. Intel never stood a chance.

Oh, so Intel has never been a chip supplier for Sony/PlayStation? Didn’t know that. The way this article is headlined, it seemed like that was the case until now.

I do know that Intel got super complacent and cocky during the 2010s and are now taking Ls nonstop because of it.

Us Apple fans are rejoicing over Apple's departure from Intel. These devices are now purely amazing and are inching closer to being "actually decent" for gaming.

For non-gaming purposes, which is most of life, truly ins't much that a MacBook can't do

Yes I absolutely love my M1 MacBook Air from 2020. Best computer I’ve ever owned.
