Question Should Intel or AMD break backward compatibility and do a clean x86-64 reboot?

Corporations are the real issue, as i see it. People assume that there are newer binaries and newer versions that can do the same thing. This ignores the long and drawn out test beds to verify stability and fitness for the intended purpose. This also ignored corporations paid previously for...

News Chinese fab banned from using US technology

First, here is Newsweek discussing how even the US government does not recognize Taiwan as a country: https://www.newsweek.com/who-recognizes-taiwan-two-change-china-1460559 "After closing its missions in the Solomon Islands and Kiribati, Taiwan would be left with recognition from only 14 out...

Wth are you talking about? Literally, why is it the US job to defend Taiwan from China. The United Nations DO NOT recognize Taiwan as its own country. China has the one China principle which allows Taiwan autonomy so long as they acknowledge China owns them. The US has respected the one China...

News Chinese fab banned from using US technology

There is an old saying: don't reinvent the wheel. China has not been trying to, in earnest, win on specifically mainstream CPUs and GPUs until recently. Why? Because the tech existed. You don't waste resources on something you do not have to. It was a couple years into the 2000s we started...

News Chinese fab banned from using US technology

It's not tech, it is customer base. TSMC owns their own process patents. In fact, if you were paying attention, you would have seen the patent fab fights with Intel, global foundries, etc. The US tech is NOT what the consideration was. It was losing Apple and AMD for only keeping Huawei. If...

News Chinese fab banned from using US technology

You've seen Intel is just so far ahead these days. They could never fall beh... what's that? TSMC passed them on process node tech years ago and AMD currently beats them in all categories? Well, x86 is going to stay on top. What's that? Apple's first attempt at ARM is rivaling x86 and even does...

Maybe sooner. For example, Huawei is already testing 6G for telecom. Sure, we look to the sexier x86 market, and ARM, and even GPU companies. But people often forget the rise of risc-v, an open source architecture from Berkeley. They also don't seem to know about china's mandate that all...

News Chinese fab banned from using US technology

Funny you call them a parasite when Intel violated SMIC held patents filled in the US. What specifically are you referring to? Saying the US doesn't discriminate between lawful targets and warcrimes. Do you hear yourself? Although a truthful statement, it is not what you think you said. There...

If the US commits an act of war that is not defensive in nature, NATO does not have to support the US. This was seen in Europe backing away after our assassination of the Iranian General, which violated international law and of which we ratified the document from the UN decades ago, meaning we...

News Chinese fab banned from using US technology

If the company is in the Netherlands and China takes TSMC, the largest pure play fab in the world, with almost all facilities in that island, ASML would cut off 33%+ revenue to do what you suggest. Why are you ignoring that? That is a declaration of war. Stop thinking we can win a war against...

Global foundries, although no longer cutting edge, is a US foundry. ASML is a corporation with its HQ in Netherlands. It is not US tech. And if the US tried to sanction them for dealing with the Chinese, it would cripple the global semiconductor market. ASML can call their bluff. TSMC could have...

Question Threadripper 1950x problem

Ok, first do not run 96GB, please. So the 64GB at 3200 sets. Second, mixing and matching speed can effect timings, as each set may need different amounts to work as well as different voltages. Third, if stable at lower MHz, you may just have a weaker memory controller on one of the dies. You...

Discussion Intel current and future Lakes & Rapids thread

Also absurd. Intel cannot maintain their pricing structure moving forward, meaning there are hard realities coming to investors with their heads in the sand like you. For example, Milan will have 20% IPC uplift on integer. AVX512 workloads are less than 8% of workloads and AMD is potentially...

Discussion Intel current and future Lakes & Rapids thread

You are a fool. Mercury research has had AMD at 14.5% of the x86 market in 2018 and 15.5% in 2019. They are making headway in OEMs. And Intel lost a large customer in losing Apple. Added together, you are wrong in the way you calculate market share AND in your estimate of what AMD needs to do...
