x87 use is deprecated in Windows 64 for 64 bit programs but still there for running 32 bit programs. Maybe that's where the misconception of no x87 in x64 comes from.

There is nothing high end about vinyl. Narrower frequency spectrum, more cross talk, poorer SNR and much lower dynamic range.

It's 100% nostalgia that drives sales of vinyl.

A great buying opportunity, IMO.

Once Intel integrates their LTE modem into Silvermont derived SOCs, share price is likely to rise sharply.
