I've seen that posted elsewhere.
The consensus was to "wait and see" if it comes to be - But if it does, woudn't be good for the Intel guys at least.

Let's hope it doesn't happen.... Or at least anytime soon if that's the case.

Thinking it may not be good for AMD guys ..........

That would bring a lot of competition to AMD playing field, Everyone would have to use them.

TBH though I do not see Intel giving up the revenue.

But who knows, in twenty years we will may all be benching smart phones .................

The enthusiast market is pennies for Intel.

Interesting, they must have worked out an updated and efficient fab process for bga. They'll keep making socket processors though imo, this is just a stop gap in their lineup, sure they'll have this alongside traditional lga.
Highly doubt intel wants to be tasked with bazzilions of mobo manuf duties.

Agreed, but I think a smaller company like AMD would apreciate that market segment.

Im not too worried, this article is about a laptop line of cpu's

Oh i didn't realize that Guru3d article was about lappps. Like Witchy said though. AMD will most likely be what we are benching in a few years.

I'll support whoever takes care of our hobby. Same as we always do

I don't see Intel killing the server line, remember how AMD almost went full Mobile and didn't work out, I am sure Intel would do the same if anything happens. We'll see

And i rather bench 5yo Palm than coming near 10ft of any AMD product XD
