Man just shut up. You keep spinning and spinning this out. You are WRONG. The AMD RYZEN MCU is orders better than the Intel Atom. Instead of admitting this you wax on about the OS, IOS, Windows, all this other non-related crap.Let's keep some perspective here.
The Tesla OS isn't a general purpose OS like Microsoft Windows or even IOS.
Windows suffers from major bloat and relies on legacy spaghetti code; IOS is long in the tooth, but Apple does a better job of pruning the legacy crap.
Both seek to accommodate a wide variety of features, functions, and "customer what-ifs".
Tesla runs an application-specific application series, and highly modular code.
What that means is the processing power to run it can be subdivided more efficiently, making the MCU horsepower needs less critical.
This has been a secret to Tesla's ability to 'adapt' when faced with certain component supply issues.
The separate, segmented processing requirements of the MCU make it's selection more flexible. Intel or AMD, they're x86, and Tesla has shown either will suffice.
And again, because of this flexibility, application specificity, and modular code, the lifespan of the "car" is prolonged.
Witness the old MS cars still running well. Yes, they've had to upgrade the FSD proc. But the basic systems are still intact and viable.
Yes, the processing requirements are likely to grow over time. Yes, there's a likelihood of some upgrade needs long term. But they're very manageable.
I realize this goes against the ingrained marketing hype of the last quarter century. That doesn't mean it's wrong.
Seriously...? WTF man?
Oh and I'll add that if anyone wants the AMD MCU, that is their perrogative. Stop telling people what they want like you have some authority on the matter, you don't.
