Efficiency and performance are kind of different sides of the same coin. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cubism_pitta@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago Yeah, but Intel charges you $200 more for the -K sku so you can find out the same applies to Intel :) permalink fedilink source parent [–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago Probably some BS market segmentation move. I imagine they noticed only certain server customers were using those extensions, so decided to limit them to high margin server SKUs. It would have been a smart move if there weren’t competitors putting that instruction in every CPU. permalink fedilink source parent
