Yah, I’m really not enthused with the idea of having to pay monthly rent for my computers ability to function.
I wonder if intel just values their existing experience with 86 more than any potential efficiency gains since the efficiency matters a lot less when the whole system is just a glorified screen and antenna.
I think it matters more.
Apple's battery life is so good in large part because ARM is way better at low end power draw.
I'd say their recent trend towards packing in E(fficiency)-cores along with their previously standard P(erformance)-core design shows that they're sensitive to and reacting to both the higher core counts of AMD and the greater efficiency of ARM
I'm really not sure even Microsoft could get away with that
The moment a subscription service comes into play for something they take for granted as free people will start looking at alternatives. Chromebooks and macbooks exist and from what I hear Chromebooks are starting to become serious competition for Windows
Plus Linux desktop obviously getting more user friendly and preinstalled on laptops
