I want 32 Eth to run my own validator. Going to DCA into it.

Intel is sure good at product timing. They will release these cards just when a flood of mining cards will hit the market.

Not the same unit, was my first thought as well but then I noticed that the build dates are different.

Intel would be worth a lot more if it divests its fabs. That said though I think the current valuation is too low. Intel will benefit from the current geopolitical trends. As long as they can execute (big question) there is a lot of upside.

In winter the electricity cost is offset by the savings in heating. Where I live the heating is electric only, so the mining electricity cost is practically free. You won't be gaming on it 24/7, mining is practically a no-brainer to offset the cost. Even if it were to fail it will be under warranty.

It can definitely be more efficient if you are used to it since you don't have to move your hands off the keyboard to move the mouse.

Lots of 2 in 1s with Ryzen but cant think of one with a greater than 1080p screen. You need to pick and choose what is important to you.

As long as fab capacity is constrained Intel is not going to make any difference. Intel is using TSMC, not its own fabs for GPU.

Apple (and others) manufacture in China and India for very different reasons. China's labor cost is lower than the US but it is expensive now in comparison to Vietnam, India etc. Even environmental regulations are much more stringent than before. The advantage is mostly in the scale of...

No issues with usbc.

I'd price out the systems and see what the actual difference is. Within $100-200 Alder Lake seems to be a better choice if keeping for 5 years.

Check if there is any BIOS update? Some boards required updates to run 4x 32gb. That said pretty sure your board supports 256.

Zephyrus G15? It is periodically on sale for a bit over $1.5k

Hard to bet against Apple at this point. They have a ridiculous amount of resources to throw at talent and tech. Apple is like double the market cap of Nvidia, Intel and AMD combined.

China doesn't care about ARM, they just want to be able to license. I'll bet you money that ARM China is not going to make any difference in this and certainly won't be buying its parent...
