News Qualcomm fishes in Intel's troubled waters: Examines acquiring different pieces of Intel

Will I get a time-out if I say I LOL'd at this thinking about the heads that will explode in this forum? Its appears 'glue chips together' really wasn't in the 'rearview mirror'. Typical of Marketing, the actual reality is: Why Objects in the Mirror May Be Closer Than They Appear

Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

So, also switched to MM, and seems to be some issues with speeds and feeds for external. Is it pretty much solved by simply going with a TB4, or do we still need to focus on manf. ? No games, so the ~200GB should hold me for a while till this shakes out. So far, experience has been rather...

Discussion RISC V Latest Developments Discussion [No Politics]

Risc-V is going to be fragmented unless/until someone comes along with a common specification that an industry can form around. If not, every RV is going to have a lot of the same IP, and a lot of different/bespoke-ness that will be like going back to the late 80's/90's vis-a-vis comparability...

Discussion NV Re-Enter ARM PC market in 2025!

I've moved to a Mac Mini M4, and have been having a similar conversation over on MacRumors. I think a lot of folks are focused on nVidia with its AI gold rush, and missing that there has to be a Plan B in the event it dies suddenly like Mining did. Jensen has always wanted to play with the big...

Question Which CPU I should choose for coding and multitasking?

Depends, do you want to spend the time needed to learn some of the in/outs of pc building or do you want to get on with simply programming? If its the former, you can build a killer Ryzen 7xxx series system from someone looking to upgrade. If its the later, just find a deal on...

Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

Just dumped x86 and Linux after dumping windows a few years ago. Mac Mini M4 at $550 seems to be working fine for me as I seem to have grown out of gaming in general. Plenty of vids showing it running relatively recent AAA games pretty well for when that itch strikes. Not a Machead, but IIRC M4...

Question Intel's future after Pat Gelsinger

Intel BOD seems to be one of its lingering problems IMHO. They probably need to spin off foundry or get some sort of seperation so they can at least get all of them pumping out chips at full bore. They need that income, and Intel R&D doesn't seem like its going to come through enough to hang...

Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

"By the time Apple could get into the AI market en masse, the gold rush will be over." I basically agree with the entire picks and shovels gold rush metaphor. Assuming that works out as it likely will though, getting Apple into an Apple Server Industry position seems a natural possiblity to...

Discussion Leading Edge Foundry Node advances (TSMC, Samsung Foundry, Intel) - [2020 - 2025]

Intel is sliding down to the basement bargain bin, and the rumors about 18A are all over the place. IF 18A were in fact some hidden comeback punch with relevence, Pat would not have been shown the door. Hope I'm wrong, but Intel has 0 cred.

I've only just recently turned to the dark side, however Apple nowadays is clearly different than the past Intel, PPC, Moto days. Good article on Apple's nascent servers at https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/12/11/apple-may-be-partnering-with-broadcom-to-make-ai-processors-for-servers When...

Question XOR and other bitwise operations in new CPUS

You didn't bother to reply, so... If someone wanted to do this, I'd start by not trying to re-engerd stuff and try to find public source architecture documents from the manf's themselves. A lot of this stuff is going to come down to process/lithography, pico-jule per bit, etc, etc, and is often...

Question Intel's future after Pat Gelsinger

Whats almost deliciously schadenfraudistic is Pat was a solid engineer back in the day. When he came back to Intel, he seemed like he was going to make some real changes... One would think an Engineer would have had a real close look at what the competition was actually doing and not risk...
