Argentina had absolutely no business being in the final
This is what happens when you crime your way through Egypt, Cape Verde, Switzerland
The world rejoices today
The most ironic outcome;
Once the cycle ends,
xAI is the only lab that survived
Simply because they pivoted into a cashflow machine, selling compute
The universe has a sense of humour
Everyone's looking at the games. The real target is Intel and AMD.
RTX Spark is a full PC on one chip: a 20-core Grace CPU, an RTX graphics core rated around a 5070, and a petaflop of AI compute, all running Windows on Arm. For the first time in 40 years, a mainstream Windows machine ships with no x86 chip from Intel or AMD inside it.
The two laptops Jensen held up were running games for one reason. Games are the hardest proof that Arm can finally do what x86 owned. Once a 5070-class machine plays your Steam library on Windows on Arm, the "my software won't run" objection that protected x86 for two decades quietly dies.
Then look at the launch list. Over 30 laptops and 10 desktops, from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, MSI, and Microsoft, all shipping this fall. Nobody lines up every major OEM at once for a niche gaming SKU. That many partners moving in one window means the platform underneath them is changing.
The gaming demo was the wedge. The personal AI computer was the announcement. The company that spent a decade selling everyone else's picks and shovels just walked into the consumer PC business it used to leave to Intel.
