#notetoself - this in an excellent #resource for #intel 8080 #cpu #chip #development #history https://baltazarstudios.com/webshare/A-Z.. This would be really useful for the #book I intend to write on the subject.
Pretty interesting. The #cpu #speculative #computing that #intel and #amd had *massive* #security #issues with recently seems to be #redundant with some better #designed #cpu #architecture that better handles some #edgecases https://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/academic/c.. This could be a way forward for both #companies , and potentially something for #arm to look at!
#intel have just #accelerated their #raytracing #performance on their #gpu 's with a *single line of code* that #allocates #memory #locally , rather than on the #system https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-Vulk.. The change increases performance by *100%!*
Oh wow, #intel have been found with *another* #cpu #security #issue - this time one they can't #mitigate https://www.hertzbleed.com/ Apparently it works by purposefully causing your #cpu to #scale and increase the #clock to meet the #computing #demand . #intel #blocked the release of this #vulnerability .
Hmm, #intel #purposefully acting very #shady by #crippling the #performance of #amd #cpu when using the #intel #compiler https://www.agner.org/forum/viewtopic.ph..
Wow, #intel and #stealing the #ip of #amd in their #latest #patent https://twitter.com/Underfox3/status/151.. It's #undeniable when you #compare the #diagrams ... How insane it was ever granted. The #patent system is completely screwed.
Heh #intel finally #releases a #cpu in a #laptop that has better #computation than #apple 's M1 Max: https://www.macworld.com/article/608396/.. #caveat : It's ludicrously #expensive , uses double the #power - and for all that only just about edges out the #competition ... In reality this is a massive loss for #intel . It shows they are incapable of competing currently...
I saw this #news and was quite #disgusted by #intel - after they #apologised for #sourcing #parts / #materials / #labour in #china from any #location other than #xinjiang https://www.reuters.com/technology/intel.. One would think it would be relatively non- #controversial to do such a thing!
Great work on making #linux #binaries #crossplatform ! https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64 It's quite difficult to make #intel #blobs run on #arm #systems for example!
#intel might actually be back on the board now: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/11/.. The #biglittle #cpu #architecture is pretty interesting and pretty obvious too. Glad to see it's working out!
#intel #disabling #directx 12 on older #cpu #architectures because they somehow managed to fuck up their #embedded #gpu #api https://www.techpowerup.com/288676/intel..
"It's all about the #pentiums !" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpMvS1Q1.. Man, #intel used to be cool. What a time it would have been: https://hackaday.com/2021/11/04/weird-al..
Looks like #amd - jealous of #intel 's #ime #backdoor #security #flaws - went out and created their own: https://hackaday.com/2021/10/01/flaw-in-.. The #amd #ryzen #platformsecurityprocessor #psp apparently gives #low #privilege #processes the ability to #access #uninitialised #memory - which could #leak #secrets ...
Very good that #intel is now actively getting their #chip #factory #manufacturing #project underway: https://www.reuters.com/technology/intel.. It's very clear that having these things done in #china or #taiwan is going to be a *massive* #security #threat in the near future. It also adds to #shipping and ultimately #globalwarming issues to having it made so far away!
Interesting, so it seems as though #microsoft #windows 11 was built entirely around the requirements from #intel 's new #threadripper #ripoff https://www.anandtech.com/show/16881/a-d.. As per usual, they haven't been working so closely with #linux - so they will continue to lose out on a large #marketshare on #linux #servers ... Some people suggest this is a push towards keeping up with #apple 's M1 #cpu #performance ...
Looks like #intel are now starting to #embrace the #chiplet #design #amd have been leading with for so long: https://www.eetimes.com/intel-brings-chi.. It was the right way to go all along, especially as #silicon #manufacturing is becoming less #reliable and #yields are much lower!
