[–] blarth 46 points 1 year ago (3 children) Fuck Intel. AMD and ARM will run the table. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 9 points 1 year ago (3 children) Sure maybe arm eventually takes off for most usage but in the mean time this is looking a lot like AMD is going to be a monopoly. If you think AMD will act any better than intel did when it still had to compete with AMD on the low end I have a bridge to sell you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) Corporate dysfunction is starting to hit AMD too. It’s mostly on the GPU side for now. But bad decisions, drama and unforced errors (especially on the enterprise/prosumer GPU side) are beginning to worry me. permalink fedilink source parent [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 point 1 year ago AMD doesn't make there own hardware permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 point 1 year ago I agree, though I expect them to be slightly better. Mostly, I expect them to be tied to their commitment to open source software. If they betray that there will be a lot of noise. That's better than Intel who never did open source software. permalink fedilink source parent [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago* Why? Competition is good. AMD and ARM aren't necessarily competitors since they make there own chips. The historical Intel competitor was companies like TSMC Samsung and Gobalfounderies but they aren't even in the same league these days. permalink fedilink source parent [–] i_am_hiding@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) I so want ARM desktop PCs to become mainstream permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago* It’s just a better ISA if you ask me. It's more scalable, up and down, and more specializable. At least theoretically. Great examples are the Fujitsu A64FX cores which went all in on SIMD performance, or Broadcomm's 8-way SMT cores which were perfect for low IPC stuff like databases. Cloud servers could have massive arrays of small core CPUs, and some big cores already have a modular (but untapped) amounts of L3 for gaming. It’s also easy to learn. I learned ARM Thumb in school! x86 would have been an utter pig. permalink fedilink source parent
