    i think supporting intel was a mistake. intel produces cutting-edge chips, unlike ARM which is significantly cheaper and catching on to intel performance-wise.

    Basically, intel can’t continue because they’re at their natural end of life: with the end of moore’s law, it’s only a matter of time till ARM catches up performance-wise, and out-competes them on price.

      I’m not so sure about that, at least in single-thread applications, but I’m also not sure it matters. When performance reaches a certain point the average consumer doesn’t really need more. And I think we’ve largely reached that point for the average consumer.
