          Fair question - I was mainly joking about it, but I do love the idea of heating my home this winter for cheaper than with gas (in the UK) whilst contributing to medical science

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

              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.
