I have a hard time believing a company as anti-consumer as Intel would want to do anything even remotely pro-consumer so now I’m left wondering what nefarious anti-consumer deeds they are doing in the background.
From a business standpoint, if I were Intel, I imagine that I might be very interested in leveraging my ability to do modular x86 systems. There is incoming laptop competition from ARM SoC systems, which are particularly weak on modularity. There, it’s not even just the laptop vendor making calls as to what components go on the system, but Qualcomm or whoever the SoC vendor is, so the consumer is even further away from having ability to choose what they get.

The modular desktop is largely from them.
