With the x86 computer processor architecture becoming increasingly locked down, do you think we will see a viable alternative for desktop and laptop computing? Will ARM be able to compete on laptops in the future? Will there ever be a strong competitor for servers and desktop computers? Will competing architectures respect the user's freedom?
Intel just fired like 4000 american workers to replace with h1b (should be illlegal) will they become less competitive?
I thought /g/ understood technology. Fuck you pieces of shit.

When Apple ditches x86 others will start to follow suit because everyone copies Apple.

Also can RISC-V ever be avalible to the mass market? How competitive is it with x86. I like that it is an open IP specification.

What do you mean? Is something wrong with my question?

>should be illlegal
>there are retards who think staying competitive should be illegal
You can move to South America anyday, bro.

Isn't x86 just an instruction set for a cpu ? how can it become locked down ?

>staying competitive
>by using the shittiest workers

don't underestimate the retarded power of the american patent office, the assholes willing to exploit it, and the morons who work there who'll grant a patent for literally anything.

It actually is illegal though, they used a staffing agency to skirt the law.
