      Ones that are built into the CPU’s hardware but you have to pay extra to unlock like a DLC for your CPU. That’s not a joke, Intel’s new Xeons are like that.

        Yeah its crazy. And according to Wendell at Level1Techs its actually a huge benefit but yeah, especially at a datacenter scale I can’t see anyone buying chips with dlc. Especially with Epyc currently spanking everyone’s butt right now.

      AMX, I guess?

      That said, being a “fan” of either company over the other is pretty cringe. When you’re getting a new CPU, just go with whoever’s got the best stuff this generation
