It mentions Edge is also losing MV2: is it? Any source after the 2024 Neowin article that an Edge Canary build 16 months ago disabled UBO? No issues with UBO on Edge 149 (stable) a…

>Cortex-X4 a.k.a. Neoverse V3 has significantly lower performance per core than Zen 5. I don't quite believe that, especially per core. In SPECint2017 from David Huang [1], Zen5 (H…

> The new Intel Clearwater Forest Xeon processors use Darkmont cores, which have approximately the same performance per core, the same die area per core and the same power consumpt…

It is likely the hardware effiency of their chips. Apple SoCs running industry-standard benchmarks still run very cool, yet still show dominant performance. The OS efficiency helps…

This seems mostly misinformed. 1) Apple Silicon outperforms all laptop CPUs in the same power envelope on 1T on industry-standard tests: it's not predominantly due to "optimizing t…

The article is estimating 15,000; however, Intel confirmed a "more than 15% headcount reduction". As of June 29, 2024, according to their Q2 2024 release: Intel: 116,500 employees …

I would've preferred the gov't handing Intel a check and expecting, in return, 1) ownership stake of Intel, including governance, for xx years 2) stock buyback ban 3) stock dividen…

Projected to be better by Intel and Intel alone. Intel has disclosed virtually no details of Intel 18A on any industry-standard metric: perf / W with an Arm core, transistor densit…

This was hilarious

This is purely a DIY problem for six-month old systems. Not a single OEM desktop or laptop sold in the past six months as new should have any of these issues. UEFI is non-negotiabl…

Thank you for the reply. Great to hear it's on Framework's radar. While the reparability helps (as I'm used to even $800 laptops calling for $300 screens + webcam + Wi-Fi antenna),…

Thank you so much for starting this project and hopefully long-term investment. Incredibly refreshing. The site is down for the moment. What is the situation about warranty? Do you…

Agreed. Zen3 would’ve been killer and cooler to boot. I wonder if it is a supply concern? Zen2 laptops also ~seemed~ in scarce supply for quite some time last year, even after the …

I think it’s down again if you click the configurations. Home page is sometimes up, but that’s also down some of the time. “ 500 Internal Server Error If you are the administrator …

That's because Intel (back then, the only real high-perf CPU) rejected ARM as an inferior, slow technology. And blatantly ahistorical on "money": where is your citation? https://ww…

P.A. Semi was partially responsible for the A4 and maybe A5? What about A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12, A13, A14? You casually state "making it better and better", as if that's a re…

Actually, Qualcomm noted the 888 is just 25% faster than the 865 in "overall performance". And that's Qualcomm's marketing number. So Qualcomm didn't even compare the 888 to their …

What are these numbers based on? Just your "best estimate"? It's dismissive of Apple's uarch for what reason? Arm has architecture licenses, unlike x86: anyone could've designed an…
