Bricky (thatbrickster@shitposter.club)'s status on Wednesday, 16-Aug-2023 00:35:17 JST Bricky @tk The Intel Core architecture, one of the best early designs IMO, came too late. Multi-core computing was relatively new and console vendors probably knew that's what they wanted. Power limits are a primary consideration and so sticking several Pentium 4s in a single console wouldn't have worked out. -
