What a time to be alive.
Intel is releasing CPU's that have locked features until you pay extra
Cooper Diaz
Adrian Russell
It's an easier way to purchase features. As a whole everything is cheaper, and for $100, you get $100's worth of CPU power. Why would you be entitled for more?
Mason Long
Not download, subscribe. It will be the worst of both worlds.
Xavier Lopez
They need to put eeproms on motherboards and let you pay for the shit you need and just sell you a base CPU that's unlocked with no microcode.
Noah Morales
Finally, baseddevs will be forced to write more efficient code. There will be two versions of every software, one for plebs one for patricians. Don't forget to pay your monthly subscription!
Thomas Evans
>even CPUs will be SaaS
EVERY ONE OF YOU CUNTS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THIS TIMELINE DESERVES THE ROPE
Anthony Murphy
Retard
Isaac Diaz
It's more the blatant absurdity of buying a piece of hardware that doesn't do what it's supposed to do until you pay extra. Some serious dystopian horror future shit. Just sell me the product, please.
Liam Collins
for the low price of $5 per month your CPU will no longer be handicapped!
we will still sell all your data to advertising companies and the NSA though!!
welcome to the future of tech!

>first AMD with pluton
>now Intel with pay for power CPUs
What a dark time it is right now for consumer hardware. Hopefully it won't get any worse.
Ryder Powell
there is no consumer hardware, there is only rent
you rent everything
you can bet there is someone in an office somewhere working on a pitch to make access to breathable air a subscription service
it will never end, late stage capitalism
Adam Hall
Im fine with pirating hardware. The world is doomed anyway, this is just a little cherry on top.
Easton James
It does what you pay for. This is capitalism, please respect intellectual property and know your place.
Ayden Morgan
What’s going on with AMD?
Xavier Lee
They're the first company adding some shit from Microsoft designed for """security""" to their new line of CPUs.
In reality, it is probably going to be Intel ME 2.0 with even more spying potential since it connects to Microsofts cloud to do who knows what.

>you are now forced to run ancient hardware or go to great lenghts to hack & isolate the new crappy hardware
What a time to be alive, the future promised us a proper Linux desktop on a quantum CPU and all we got was Intel's DRM nirvana.
Alexander Green
finally I'll be able to pirate a cpu
Julian Fisher
It's obviously gonna get pirated
Jose Ward
>>it's only a matter of time before you can download more RAM
Yeah, I smell Tesla here.
Elijah Thomas
This isn't remotely new
Carter Morales
This is your fault. You voted for it.
