On what does it run on?

Yeah, I'm sure governments do buy some amount of desktop PCs because they don't intend for their workforce to work from anywhere else other than a specific office, but you also can't tell me with a straight face that selling PCs to the DMV, FBI and other bureaucrats represents a big lucrative market that was waiting for the APU revolution.

PCs are a low selling niche now. APUs won't move the needle on that, that's why AMD ignored it for so long. End of story.

I think you are moving the goal post a bit.

Well for starters the argument wasn't about economics, but who would value a power efficient processor like this.

Scroll up, enlighten yourself.

Economics matter. People can value a lot of things, but if there's too few of them, then the market won't bother catering to them. See small smartphones.

Sure, but maybe this objection to the original argument shouldn't come as a moving goal post, don't you think?

Cause moving goal posts are lame and exhausting. End of story.
