Your better off with a AMD Epyc anyway. Just like Nvidia Intel is figuring out ways to even more increase their revenue. For all we know Nvidia's next generation come with base models and can be unlocked at the price of who knows with a code to have all the features. This as a service thing is'nt a good thing, really.

yeah ... you get a 5030 and by paying XXXX$ more you can "upgrade it" up to a 5080 XXXXX$ more for the TI variant and XXXXXXXXXXXXXX$ more for the 5090 variant

i can totally see them going that way :laugh:

well i would go "hey! my 5030 is as much as good as your 5090, if i paid ... but i don't want, but it still could be ... SUCKER!"

I do, any amount of dark silicon is wasted silicon IMHO and a waste of resources.
I can't see this coming to consumer SKU though.

Dark silicon is everywhere though. Heck few dies made today don't have lasered off sections.

Ah yes, artificial price inflation. If they can sell the base hardware for X dollars why not try and sell it for X-Y and charge Y a month to use half of it?

Not to mention jack up the price in the future, and keep earning from products that you bought many years ago.
Unfortunately, subscription models seem to be the trend everywhere these days.

Capitalism progressing here. New profit growth has to come from somewhere I guess.

This can end up been a good thing though, if I buy something that isnt top end and then regret it later, I would rather be able to unlock the upgrade than have to swap out completely what I purchased.

I think this kind of shit will backfire. It's been a practise for years to disable stuff in software and enable it for a flat fee (might need an extra module to plug in to the body computer or whatever, but it's mainly there already). Now that they're offering it as a predatory subscription it might motivate lawmakers to outlaw the practice altogether.

GG legacy automakers.
