    Run some benchmarks to dry my clothes, or maybe render a movie… Mine a bit of bitcoin/Monero

      How long until the x86 architecture is relegated to a line of overpriced, crypto-mining space heaters?

        We overestimate what can be done in 1 year, but underestimate what can be done in 10.

          you think I was kidding and then accuse me of underestimating, lol. I’m thinking of some background joke in a S7 episode of Black Mirror:

          Year: 2035. Guy in a remote cabin plugs in space heater with a sticker labeled: “Intel Inside” next to a Bitcoin logo

            No it’s a quote about time frames. Meaning I think it will be somewhere in the middle, maybe 7-8 years before x86 is like power pc.
