Surprise David, they have abandoned both.

Their models have been really accurate for the last several election cycles. They’re part of fivethirtyeight.com

If you’re a star they let you do it.

Up to 128 cores. Not meant for gaming, but it cranks at server tasks, compiling & coding tasks, etc.

There’s a windows dev kit (ARM) that I think is 3ghz: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-dev-kit-2023

But bleeding edge stuff from MS means likely driver issues, and this isn’t something you’ll throw a dedicated graphics card in.

Still, feels like the tide is changing away from Intel. I too was looking at “ARM for Desktop” options a couple weeks back.

Teach her to take a drink and then smack her lips and say, “ahhh”.

Superconductors can transmit energy with no loss. However current superconductors require very low temps.

Room temp superconductors would open the door to much more efficient transmission of electricity in everything from the electric grid to your home computer.

Now whether the LK-99 can be replicated reliably, verified to be superconducting and what the properties of LK-99 would be at scale would dictate how it could be used (is it malleable? does it wear? are there things that cause it to lose its superconductive properties?).
