John has replaced his 7-year-old Intel-based Mac with a new ARM-based computer. He notes a colder tone to his voice due to the ARM architecture, contrasting it with the 'warmth' of Intel processors. This move also allows his wife to use her computer again, as he previously used it for development work.
“Okay, so uh if you've noticed that the uh the tone of my voice is colder and not as warm as it used to be.”
“That's the sound of an arm CPU.”
“Intel just had that extra that extra warmth, extra soul.”
“It's just missing from these modern arm CPUs.”
“Oh, yeah, no, I'm, I mean, the whole I'll talk about it when we get to our all new products, but the whole household is happy because now I no longer need to hog my wife's computer to do dev work.”
