Its always going to be relevant, even if only emulated, simply because of how many code bases are stuck on x86/x86-64.
Open sourcing it and all of its extensions solves the licensing problems of not only itself, but Arm, while providing a battle tested architecture with decades of maturity.
Also imagine the fun FPGA consoles could have with that?
Oh I have no issues with it being relevant in the same sense the Z80 68k or 6502 still being relevant. Just not part of a controlling duopoly.

I am quite surprised at the amount of people that think people exist that would praise a monopoly and celebrate shareholder value.
If you’ve never been to the US, don’t. Half the population unironically hold those beliefs as sacred.
Okay celebrating shareholder value I get in an indoctrinated pure* capitalist society.
But praising a monopoly? Wasn't that one of the main points capitalism should prevent?
The free market brings about competitors when they are needed.
Which does not hold true in reality due to various reasons and dynamics like entry cost...
Edit: These two are related as monopoly -> big shareholder value. Still the free market should prevent monopolies. Sooo Ahhh.

This isn't completely true. Even a basic instruction like ADD has multiple implementations depending on the memory sources.
For example, if the memory operand is in RAM, then the ADD needs to be decoded to include a fetch before the actual addition. RISC doesn't change that fact.
Yes, but RISC knows the exact position of that instruction in cache and how many instructions fit the instructions cache or pipeline. Like you said, it doesn't help with data cache.

There's no way politicians will let one of the most important chip manufacturers die. If push comes to shove, they'll get subsidies
Didn't the orange one threaten tsmc to buy 49% of Intel or will get higher tariffs?

Are you sure there's a significant difference in machine code between RISC and CISC after instructions are decoded?
The assembly in RISC is just an abstraction of the machine code, as it also is in CISC. If the underlying CPU has the same capabilities then it doesn't really matter what the assembly looks like?
Of course, the underlying CPUs aren't the same and that's the real point of differentiation.

I've been a gushing fanboy since I had a discount $200 laptop that ran mass effect 3 with an integrated GPU.

You’re assuming the indoctrinated ever bothered to learn what they’re celebrating as opposed to cheering in capitalism like it’s their favorite football team.

Intel CPU Temperature Monitoring Driver For Linux Now Unmaintained After Layoffs
There is yet more apparent fallout from Intel's recent layoffs/restructurings as it impacts the Linux kernel..
(www.phoronix.com)
Coretemp and Ethernet. Also a few years ago the guy that maintained meshcentral (the only reason to pay extra $$$ for having Intel vPro compatibile computers in the workspace)
Basically this tells their biggest customers "next server needs to be based on AMD epyc"
How much money they could possibly "save" with those THREE salaries? Just cut one week of travel with private jet for the C class and the same savings are served

Probably not, but these morons will probably wait until too much damage is done. They’re shortsighted AF.

Trump's 100% tariffs on chips made outside the USA is puzzling. It it an attempt to force Intel, who do make chips in the USA, to become more competitive just through bullying everyone? Or does he know it will just cause more trouble and is he trying to drive Intel into the ground for revenge because they took Biden's money? Why is he also demanding that Intel's CEO resign? Does none of it make sense because Trump is a crazy old narcissist who has lost touch with reality and is now losing his mind?
The tariff thing just shows that Trump doesn’t understand why people use TSMC. TSMC doesn’t have a brand of chips that they sell, and they can’t copy your designs.
Companies don’t manufacture with Intel because Intel isn’t just their manufacturer, it’s their competitor. Also, Intel’s fab is now behind the curve. It literally can’t manufacture some of the shit Apple and Nvidia want.
Trump sees a rash and is prescribing cortisone cream. But the skin irritation is from melanoma.
