That's nice. They can raise prices all they want. PC gaming/building as a hobby is already dead anyway.

Nobody's buying Intel this generation. We already know there will be a socket change, so there's no upgradability

Intel is reportedly giving its own fab capacity priority to higher-margin server processors, which is putting additional pressure on PC CPU capacity.

By reducing low-margin products, Intel CEO Chen Li-wu is improving overall profitability. These are all strategic adjustments.

It was a whole lot of datacenter being built out.
