Upselling Alive and Well at Intel at Robert Pogson

Intel describes how they obtain huge margins while other makers of hardware suffer, and why I buy AMD amd am looking for ARM combined with Linux.

see Think PCs will drop in price? Think again, warns Intel
Selling chips better biz than selling drugs

Intel will milk the cash cow until it dries up. Of course, there are those who will write that whatever its cost, Wintel is worth it. What else would you expect from addicts? Intel makes good chips but they can be replaced with cheaper chips with higher performance/price.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
