You should support VIA or Intel will fuck everybody with their monopoly. Just saying.
Nah, I think I'll keep supporting Intel since they make the best chips.
>>53200817
But aren't they working with the NSA?
You have nothing to hide, right?
Are they any good and cheap? I have a crap CPU and have been wanting a new one.
>>53201007
yes and yes

>>53200901
what do you mean with this? are you saying that the chip itself can connect to the internet to sell info about you?
>>53201139
Actually yes, not that anon btw.
>>53200901
Everyone is working with the NSA.
>>53201345
i would appreciate if you give me more info about this. i was not sure about it but now i'm interested.
thanks man.
>>53200799
I would buy VIA, but where can you even buy the chips? I was unsuccessful in using Google. Link(s)?
>>53201368
Russians don't ;^
Their ARM cpus aren't bad.
>>53201378
Intel management engine
Microcode update
damn if only i had good windows 10 drivers with their sound

In China like every other sane person.

I meant their top specced quad cores but thanks for the effort.
>>53201614
Try writing them an email and throwing money at them. They can sell you something better if you have the money.
>>53201601
shhhssss
anti-establishment
>>53201601
This is the price of freedom.
Buy their shit and soon they will be able to invest more in research. Not every country receives free money from USA for nothing, you know?
>>53201661
By that metric everyone on /g/ should be as cut-throat and business-savvy as possible so we can all support alternative industry players that will push the envelope while not being botnetty.
>>53201741
They should. If you are not a hacker and a tip-top businessman you should get the fuck out of /g/.
>>53200799
This. AMD is a lost cause.
>>53201056
>250USD for an ITX board with embedded processor
I could buy 5 embedded ITX boards for that price.
VIA's still around?
>>53201846
And how!
>>53201860
Is their stuff competitive at all? I mean, as bad as Intels IGPs are, VIAs are worse. As bad as AMDs single core performance and performance per watt is, VIAs CPUs are worse. As expensive as both of those are, VIA are even more so. What use case does VIA have left, aside from set top boxes?
>>53202062
Botnet free linux machine.
>>53202151
If that's your goal, why go x86 at all? Why not get that MIPS thing RMS carried around for ages? That's guaranteed "free as in freedumbs" from start to finish.
>>53202578
the lemote is an overpriced piece of shit
>>53200799
via has been effectively comatose for a decade. just saying
>>53202062
Isaiah II sits between Baytrail and Kabini in performance.
>>53201056
>40nm
0/10 even amd is better
>>53201378
Intel chips don't even need Internet to botnet your shit up. Many of them have 3G capabilities. It's an advertised feature.
>>53200799
> muh competition is good meme
yeah worked out real well for AT&T- getting ripped apart. We could have had plan-9 2016 edition by now, but the DoJ fucked it all up.
>>53204121
So's everything made by VIA.
>>53204216
The only benchmarks suggesting that are the ones from VIA. I'd take that with a bag of salt.
>>53204287
They have a 28nm quad core chip with IPC similar to C2D, but I don't think its available yet. Also clocks are very low.
