gollark: I think that works too. Though at this point Edge is effectively just reskinned Chromium.
gollark: Apparently Microsoft Teams "requires" Chrome or the desktop app to do voice/video meetings, but it also worked perfectly fine when I just switched the user agent in Firefox.
gollark: Intel's 7nm is said to be (meant to be) similar to other companies' 5nm, at least.
gollark: They have 10nm Ice Lake mobile CPUs, at least.
gollark: They still haven't. So the best thing *shipping* is Ice Lake, which had better IPC but is also on their not-very-good 10nm process and has bad clocks, making it roughly as good as 14nm ones with worse architectures.
