yeah if you're running a node backend, the changes are cosmetic at best (unless you're running chrome to generate pdfs or whatever). easiest 20% saved ever. if I were Intel or AMD I would be very afraid of this... years ago.

I was scared of ARM taking over in 2017 (e.g. Windows being locked down to just the Microsoft store) and 8 years later literally nothing happened.

I would not call Windows RT "literally nothing". It failed, but it clearly was an attempt to lock things down.
