Intel CPU Temperature Monitoring Driver For Linux Now Unmaintained After Layoffs
There is yet more apparent fallout from Intel's recent layoffs/restructurings as it impacts the Linux kernel..
(www.phoronix.com)
When I got a new desktop PC this year I specifically avoided anything with Intel in it because of how bad they dropped the ball with their GPUs basically disintegrating.
This is just a small glimpse into how Intel is breaking down from the inside. It may take a few years but if the US government doesn't intervene somehow on their behalf I truly think Intel might be done for in the next 5 years.

RISC is perfectly good for desktops as demonstrated by Apple. Microcontroller chips are suitable for light desktop tasks, they are nowhere near modern x64 CPUs. For now.
alr thanks for the info

Imagine if x86-64 got blown open because of it? Might literally be the best thing to happen to computing in like 40 years.
Really fuckin' doubt it'll happen, but a girl can dream XP

It doesn't really make much of a difference on modern CPUs as instructions are broken down into RISC-like instructions even on CISC CPUs before being processed to make pipelining more effective.

Another reason to go for Amd

Hey this is kind of interesting since I just met up with my friend who works for Intel today for his kids first birthday and he was telling me about this issue and how they're trying to get him to be part of a related team (not specifically related to Linux) on top of his other responsibilities...
He went on at some length describing how absolutely absurd the whole structure was of related systems and how it's a miracle any of it works lol
Since I had comp architecture in undergrad I find it a miracle that any of it works.

So, their chips become unsuitable for enterprise servers. Datacenters avoiding them and buying AMD. Intel losing enterprise market share and revenue. Reduced revenue causes next layoffs, probably again people working on things that keep the business working. Shoots itself in the foot and being surprised about the consequences.

.... Have you seen the competence of the politicians on display in the US right now?
sure, but if the us doesn't china will.

And AMD becoming a monopoly, nice, nice world

From what I remember one of problems with CISC is that it has variable length instructions and these are harder to predict since you have to analyze all instructions up to the current one wheres for RISC you exactly know where is each instruction in memory/cache.

After 25 years in software development, I can say that's how I feel as well.
I'm a network engineer and lately I've dived deep on wifi. I feel the same way about wifi.

This is the correct answer. Modern x86 (x64) is a RISC CPU with a decoder that can decode a cisc isa.

Man, wifi is black magic. Not the nice kind that draws kittens out of hats, but that one that need a blood sacrifice to work

Monopolies are good for the consumer as it makes purchasing decisions easier. Some tech markets such as the GPU one show how well a monopoly can work for shareholders.

Decisions easier, quality and sanity suffers, though.

Monopolies are good for the consumer?
Respectfully, what the fuck are you talking about. That has never been true ever.

Thank you. Thank you for giving me hope lol

Based on the last sentence, I believe it’s satire.

Yeah, wouldn't it be amazing if for example Apple has the monopoly on the smartphone market, so your purchasing decision would be to buy an iPhone, or a slightly larger iPhone? And they would have no competition - which is the definition of a monopoly - so they could price them at whatever they wanted to, they could even make the American iPhone a reality, because let's be real, it's kinda hard to function without a phone these days so who cares if it costs $5k, you can just sell a kidney, right? You got two of 'em.
Monopolies are such a great thing for consumers
(Please don't sell a kidney for an iPhone, it's a really bad decision.)
