anyone can explain to me how this will be good?? cuz i can't see any advantage only problems!!
* ""Security"" on hardware was never a good idea (Intel Vpro anyone??) to begin with an if security on hardware is updateable from software even worse idea.
* Low Power for some tasks!! mmm ok could be but how the hell the os is gonna manage pass from X86 ISA to ARM ISA, ofc not counting SSE/AVX to NEON on realtime?? i foresee a real mess here
* if AMD put some sort of hardware converter to keep the ARM ISA internal i only see massive time increase in wakeups and major performance scaling issues and prolly a fuck fest of possible hardware bugs from the switching
* if AMD is only interested in the security crap of trustzone, why in the freezing hell they use ARM and not port it to X86?? saddism??
* AMBA/ARM bandwith will be an issue? or hypertransport will downscale to SoC level before switching to ARM?
* how to debug crap when the ISA switch make a booboo??
* are they thinking in just handle ARM/X86 independently so you can multiarch ARM/ia32/ia64 in 1 CPU? it make any sense if you don't develop android apps?
this news has to be the most fucked up i heard this last decade LOL, bridgman memo your idiotic CEO and tell him to pour money in the CPU INTEGER performance and MEMORY controllers LOL and bulldozer could use an improvement in your AVX float performance too you know, i mean is competitive but X86/gpu performance is what sells CPU not some retarded "security" ARM crap superglued to the CPU or im missing something really uber important here?
