2025: apple makes an arm64 extension that signs and authenticates every single instruction, somehow the iphone still gets owned via the emoji keyboard

the uk is now officially intervening in nvidia's arm acquisition this doesn't mean for sure that they're actually going to block it, but it does seem to be a necessary step in doing so. earlier investigations could've been handwaved as just a formality but this is more than that i for one welcome anything that denies nvidia the opportunity to gently caress more things up

skeptical how much their security complaints will matter since it was already foreign owned probably do some kind of time limited jobs guarantee and call it done

nvidia is a data center company now. they’re going to push big beefy arm cores for clouds, hpc, and edge. hopefully they leave the embedded chips alone.

i predict a cheap or free nvidia arm gpu to lock you in to all their proprietary apis

what do you mean no good? it will hasten the adoption of riscv and free us from the shackles of proprietary hardware

Dont Touch ME posted:It's popping off in China for SBCs and microcontrollers. ARM's as much of a ridiculous dinosaur as x86 is. People talk about it the same way people talked about MIPs and PowerPC 20 years ago (while nobody gave a poo poo about ARM.) Remember those? Remember Itanium? lol 32-bit arm was a bit of a dinosaur, particularly with the whole thumb thing and all the deprecated java extensions and so forth. 64-bit arm is the clean break x86 never had. all that cruft is gone on the only arm cpus worth using on the desktop

Soricidus posted:lol 32-bit arm was perfect for what it was designed for: low power chips. thumb was great (except for the whole ITTT thing), it was a no-cost instruction compression scheme. it was hardly a dinosaur the way x86 is. the things that made it great for low power cores became barriers to high performance core design. small, in-order cores value instruction density, complex operations, and avoiding branches. big, out-of-order cores value independent operations for dependency resolution and parallelism, and predictable branching. arm64 was essentially a clean sheet design targeting high performance cores. it is extremely well suited for this, whereas x86 remains a pile of garbage still pretending to be an accumulator architecture.

yeah, but its a huge pile of garbage with many roads through it and massive fans to blow away the stench and big power needs
