I do think this a legitimate end-user sale figure.

I believe Apple sold 500 K Vision Pro units in 2024, so it's not unreasonable for Meta to hit such sales figures.

Agreed. You can get a very good Android phone for $400.

They've even included a floppy power connector!

Sounds like a pretty niche technology with notable drawbacks. It's essentially limited to the high end (only for people with ~240 hz monitors) and even then only for specific games with mostly simple scenes.

The 5000 series is honestly not looking too good. 5080 seems to be barely better than the 4080S and the 5090's performance uplift (~30%) is roughly equivalent to the increase in CUDA cores.

Hahaha. To be fair, I think the community is relatively well focused.

The headline could be a bit more clear. They are referring to the "Falcon Shores" enterprise GPU.

To my knowledge, they are still committed to the B7XX series and even the next generation dGPU (celestial).

I am assuming this has already been configured by the OEM.

But there are other factors as well beyond "cosmetic" animations. For example the UX around search functions in the OS (e.g. in settings) or certain launcher configuration settings. For example, for an e-ink device, I am assuming you would want to disable folder functionality on your home screen, only allowing individual app icons ("opening" a folder with apps would be slow).

I am surprised they were able to hit 1 million in shipments in 2024. I don't have any first hand experience with Meta's smart glasses, but the reviews make it seem like an expensive novelty item.

I wonder how well Android 14 works with an e-ink device; specifically the animations.

I personally think this is a very stylish device, albeit this could be nostalgia on my part.

She also revealed that Panther Lake would be followed by a next-gen product called Nova Lake, which would utilize a mix of internal and external fab processes, meaning a reliance on non-Intel factories.

They are already expecting Nova Lake to be reliant on external fabs? How do they expect to service external customers when they themselves don't want to be committed to their fab business?

Seems capable, but not really viable.

I would argue that you don't need to know the details of US politics to make an educated guess that an oligarch regime will not pursue pro-competition / anti-oligopoly policies in good faith. This is not really a US-specific thing, closer to common sense.
