Asahi Linux Update Brings Experimental Apple M2 Support

[qarium]

The irony is that the high-end chips are hit less by the supply chain fiasco.

if you go deeper in the so called supply chain fiasco of the chip crisis you will find that there was never a crisis in the supply chain....

there are only 2 companies who was the bottleneck ASML (EUV lithography) and Ajinomoto (BF-Substrat (Ajinomoto-Build-up-Film))...

for Ajinomoto its super simple to just build more factories for more Substrat

and ASML did not even need to build more factories they just developed High-NA EUV,... High-NA means they can just do the EUV lighting job much much faster...

this means there was never a problem in the supply chain...

what really happened: monero crypto coin did eat all the CPUs and ethereum crypto coin did eat the gpus.

and eat all the cpu/gpus means they did consume all no matter how much you produce if you produce the double they consumed the double if you consume 100 times more they consume all the 100 times more.

Nothing follows standards, except Microsoft, who write the standards.

Microsoft has a long history of not following standards either.

What is the use case for Asahi? Servers?
Are the Apple apps off-the-table?

It's Linux on the M1/M2 Macs. The use case is whatever you want to make of it.

If you want to run "Apple apps", why would you be looking at linux on a Mac? You can already use those on macOS.

What interest would Apple have in a CPU server business based on linux? They wouldn't be able to control it or to compete in price and the revenue is much smaller (see what AMD makes with server CPUs and what Apple is used to with their consumer hardware).

apple does not act """alone""" you have problem to get why apple does this because you think they act alone.

not following their own standards to be precise

Dude, you got no clue. Most industrial MPUs / microcontrollers now have a backlog way into 2023.

Try building new ones for those "industrial" processes, where a bigger scale is common for various reasons.

Again, no clue. And the issues from the ukraine war (delivered most of the neon needed) are not even hitting.

Sure sure, kinda explains how deep you are involved into the tech behind it =)

Desktop.

of course... sunglasses in the night and "aluminium hat" ....

Dude, you got no clue. Most industrial MPUs / microcontrollers now have a backlog way into 2023.

but there was no bottleneck there. it was the Ajinomoto Substrate and ASML High-NA EUV
and also the crypto mining boom...
both are fixed now. and your microcontrollers will soon be available again...

Try building new ones for those "industrial" processes, where a bigger scale is common for various reasons.

the Ajinomoto Substrate is not really a high-tech product you can build more facilities easily.

Again, no clue. And the issues from the ukraine war (delivered most of the neon needed) are not even hitting.

of course there was a neon gas production but come one produce neon gas is not high-tech you can do it everywhere.

Sure sure, kinda explains how deep you are involved into the tech behind it =)

for the fact that i am not a "professional" earning my money with it i am very well informed.

most people do not even know what this Ajinomoto company does they think they produce Glutamate for food .
