@Linux@linuxrocks.online They're the last generation without Boot Guard, where coreboot has native raminit code, and where the ME firmware can be almost completely overwritten with 0xff. With all newer x86_64 hardware at least one of those points is no longer the case.
I'd have to say that compared to ARM SoCs that are comparatively free/open, even the much more recent ones, Ivy Bridge is still *much* faster.
A desktop with an i7-3770, for instance, can be used for almost anything, even today.

@kevin@social.interlunium.nl So, how much more years you reckon this gadgets can still fly? It's already like 13 years is it not? Discontinued more than 10 years ago? What are you going to do when these last generation ones really go under? How long do you reckon you can keep replacing parts? Can you replace ANY part?
