What a time to be alive.

Going to be an interesting 2026-2027 if you didn't replace most of your workstations in 2025 (we did roughly 25% end of 2024 and 75% in 2025). Most "office use" workstations will be fine with DD4 motherboards, it's not like 2019 is that long ago. Intel also introduced the "new" Z790 DDR4 motherboard in late December, so we'll probably see some iteration of that in Dell/Lenovo/HP products too so we'll probably see a lot more Alder/Raptor and fewer Core Ultra offerings.
I give us 5-6 years until AI decides to ju
From a neutral view, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s why opinions are all over the place
Putting bias aside, the follow-through is what will decide this which is why this is getting picked apart
this feels rushed rather than thought through That’s the key detail here. Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s the impression it gives me.
Putting bias aside, this depends heavily on what happens next and that friction is hard to ignore
I get the idea, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s why opinions are all over the place That’s the key detail here. That’s just my read on it.
At this point, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s what makes this interesting. Hard to say where this lands long term.
Just reading this, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven so the response doesn’t surprise me We’ll see how people react over time.
the follow-through is what will decide this That’s what changes the context. That’s the impression it gives me.
From my side, this feels like a half-step, not a full move which is why the comments look the way they do That’s the key detail here.
Honestly, the direction makes sense but the details are messy Not convinced this is settled yet.
Just reading this, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s why opinions are all over the place Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
At this point, the main issue seems to be how this is handled Interested to see the follow-up.
Reaction: Me_irl
At this point, the wording alone shifts how people read this which is why this is getting picked apart At least from my perspective.
Putting bias aside, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s where it gets complicated That’s what makes this interesting.
From a practical angle, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome That’s the key detail here.
From a practical angle, the timing matters more than people admit Feels like an opening move, not an ending. That’s the impression it gives me.

Real talk, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that friction is hard to ignore That part stands out.
To be fair, this depends heavily on what happens next which turns this into more of a debate That’s the key detail here. Hard to say where this lands long term. At least from my perspective.
Reaction: lock in chat
Just reading this, the timing matters more than people admit Feels like there’s more coming here. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
From a practical angle, this solves one problem while creating another Others will probably see it differently.
Reaction: Too real..
Looking at this, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s where it gets complicated
the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s the part people are stuck on Others will probably see it differently.
If we’re being honest, the signal is clear, the strategy less so Curious how this plays out. Others will probably see it differently.
From my side, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that tension shows up immediately That part stands out. Others will probably see it differently.
To be fair, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s the part people are stuck on Time will tell. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Real talk, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that friction is hard to ignore Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
From a neutral view, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here which turns this into more of a debate Interested to see the follow-up. Others will probably see it differently.
From a neutral view, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s what changes the context. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. That’s just my read on it.

Reaction: very shocking
Trying to be fair, this feels more about execution than intent That’s what makes this interesting.
Stepping back, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s the part people are stuck on
the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which explains why reactions are split That part stands out.
