This $200 thing is better than the Oculus Rift people paid $900 for a few years ago. Better resolution. Better field of view. 90Hz display. Capitalism may be ruining the planet but it makes for some killer consumer hardware pricing.

There are only ~four tasks that will intractably suck all available computing power for the foreseeable future 1.) Cryptocurrency mining 2.) Next-gen VR 3.) 4K+ gaming 4.) Artificial intelligence Note all four of these are GPU-limited. Microsoft sees a last desktop bastion here.

You see headlines that mobile processors equal desktop processors. But that's for a split-second on certain tasks. Your phone will never dissipate a kilowatt of heat. Desktops can. Seen from the right perspective, a CPU is just the most expensive ramen hotplate in the world.

What does a computer actually use 500 watts of power for? You ever thought about that? It's not magically expended into another dimension. It doesn't actually _do_ anything outside of information theory nerd stuff. It's a glorified spaceheater that can boop, and sometimes beep.
