Intel tricked me! That's impressive!
Intel tricked me! That's impressive!
I believe you overlooked the main idea I was making. In reality, few people were interested in a low-end chip from nine years prior. The lack of discussions about it at the time indicates that many didn’t care either. "Wow, this CPU is terrible! But it’s supposed to be bad, so maybe that’s fair." That’s likely how those individuals felt back then.
They raise a valid argument, though. It's not about the quality of the product—it's that they don’t provide clear details on their own site. Intel ARK would benefit from more thorough information compared to its current state. The company frequently makes mistakes, like failing to mention specifics such as CNVio support or the absence of forward compatibility (you can't use a V2 card in a V1 slot). They also sometimes give incorrect instructions, like claiming a CPU lacks AES acceleration when it actually does.
For GPUs, laptops should receive a better price if they can't match the hardware specs (perhaps due to minor defects). Laptops aren't just restricted by lower power limits—they also lack the chance to add graphics cards later. The CPU is all they have, and they rely on lower frequency efficiency to stay within power constraints. At least recently, manufacturers began providing GPU execution unit counts and API support starting from the 11th generation.
