NVIDIA and AMD are still offering their server and consumer-level products to Chinese players and during the recent visit of Intel's CEO, Pat Gelsinger, he defended China as one of the biggest markets in the world.

More so, the whole data center industry amounts to 2.6% of the country's entire electricity consumption.

Fukk Intel. I have 10-12 3rd gen 22nm Core i5 PCs (various laptops, desktops and mini PCs) to run Windows 7 and 1 Tiger Lake notebook. I bought the Tiger Lake one because that's what the Huawei Matebook uses. The Tiger Lake will be my last Intel.

Anyways, Wintel sucks arse. I dual boot Win11 + Deepin. When I switch to Win11, I suddenly realize how fugly it is, especially the Taskbar, compared to Deepin. The floating taskbar of Deepin with rounded corners looks more refined than that ugly square bar hugging the screen borders at the bottom of Win11...

For me, I will be waiting for something better than Intel because I know the crap that runs on them (cough Windows cough) too ugly for my taste plus don't work quite as good! (Win11 pisses me off with the unnecessary and annoying changes from Win7).

I'm pretty sure the future PC powered by Kirin running Harmony OS will be 10x better looking and works better than Windows 14...
