I am surprised they didn’t move the automotive BU into MobileEye.

Consumers in Beijing and Shanghai are now entitled to discounts of up to 2,000 yuan (US$278) on select models of Apple devices – including the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and MacBook – when they buy directly from the US company, according to a statement published on Tuesday on Apple’s mainland Chinese website.

That’s a crazy government subsidy. There must be some grey-market trade going on with get the devices to buyer outside of Beijing and Shanghai.

The x50 and x60 series are trash if you look real world prices (it’s worse where I live, but to my understanding it’s a global issue).

If you have a mid-2010s era CPU (and your finances are flexible), it’s probably a good idea to get a new CPU as well.

I am aware of the 5060, it’s a more morbid curiosity if you will.

Curious to see real world benchmarks for the 5050 and 5050 mobile.

The PowerVia does sound cool and 18A is allegedly a big step for Intel.

That being said I don’t trust Lip-Bu Tan to deliver. It sounds like he is more focused on “leverging AI to improve costs in marketing” than delivering new semiconductors.

I could be wrong though.

The company said it believes Accenture, using artificial intelligence, will do a better job connecting with customers. It says it will tell most marketing employees by July 11 whether it plans to lay them off.

Lip-Bu Tan comes off as another vapid senior executive.

From what I’ve heard Eutelsat’s has a ways to go before it becomes comparable to Starlink, but they do have one strength; they are not based in the US and are run a fascist American oligarch.
