Wendell from Level1 Techs joins us to discuss what we hope will become a new ongoing series: "Is x86 Actually Screwed?" This series is dedicated to our mutual friend Gordon Mah Ung in memory of the "Is Intel Actually Screwed?" series. In this video, we'll talk about the System76 ARM system that Wendell brought with its 128 cores and alternative to x86 options on the market. Fittingly, we also venture into the topic of Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA and their ARM or x86 ventures.
