The way things are going, are we sure that product is ever going to come out?

Most of the units I see on eBay are from ASUS. As for them being "collectors items", somehow I doubt it. That's pretty rare for recent electronics. Usually what happens is that high-demand, limited run products sell for crazy prices due to supply/demand. The miniPCs, while not cheap, seem...

Oh, thought you were still discussing Halo. In the case of Strix Point, it seems that AMD doesn't really care about their non-Halo iGPUs all that much.

Undercut them with what?

Okay, but if the money isn't there to continue operations, it's not like the government can compel creditors to step in and keep Intel afloat in the event of a "controlled" bankruptcy. Eventually Uncle Sam would need to open the pocketbook, and we all know what that entails. Not unless it's a...

Wafer prices are going to be awful if they're the only ones left at the top.

btw for those wondering: Strix Halo laptops selling on the secondary market are almost all $2300+, with many being above $3000. In the US at least. And that's just 32GB configurations. The miniPCs are around $1400-$1600 for 64GB models and $1900+ for 128GB models. That's not counting the...

If Intel actually goes through a proper bankruptcy and reorganization, they'll be gutted and fall permanently out of leading edge IC fabrication (which may happen anyway). Say hello to the next Lucent/Alcatel, or whatever comparison you wish to make. That amounts to its own crisis for Feds...

Seems like the people buying Strix Halo are doing so to run AI models on it, so perhaps it wasn't wasted after all. People aren't buying it for gaming rigs since they can get 5070Ti mobile lappies for less money and a 9955/9955HX, why bother with Strix Halo for games? Apparently not, despite...

The Feds took over GM. Look where they are now. Yes, it was just a temporary bailout, but it has been done in recent history.

It seems to be selling pretty well in those miniPCs which are being sold for LLM/AI usage. There are tons of these things on the market. In any case, Strix Halo was never meant to be a high-volume part (that I know of) but rather a pipecleaner/test case for new interconnects/topology in Medusa.

Exactly how much does Uncle Sam rely on Intel? Surely the DoD could gobble them up if necessary.

Cutting Medusa Halo doesn't make a lot of sense.

Intel may have funded it, but their steadfast refusal to use it on their 10nm node was a choice. EUV in-and-of-itself probably didn't factor too heavily in all the delays associated with their first node to actually use it (Intel 4) except for the fact that they simply didn't order many EUV...

@511 All that engineering knowledge and yet the (former) Intel engineer still blames capitalism for his layoff. Meanwhile, capitalism created and funded every product that put Intel into a position of dominance years ago, as well as every product that threatens to unseat them now. Total lack...
