Intel Spots A 3888.9% Performance Improvement In The Linux Kernel From One Line Of Code

No, it's unrelated. The kernel test robot isn't even running Clear.

probably for testing of new CPU arch... there are probably other build bots w/bring up CPUs running, but they're not reporting those...

AMD: you kinda have to remember that a few years ago AMD was nearly broke, as in if Ryzen failed they'd be dead, so they're still kind of oh wow a billion company works like(e.g. see gamers nexus amd interview/tour videos which are fairly recent)...

Some of their stuff is yeah, you kind of have to make some test equipment as you, but some of the other stuff... oh wow... really?! Bottomline though is that it still works, and is cheaper, although more labor intensive... e.g. the EXPO RAM 'overclocking' seems like the one guy does most of the work and sets the DIE memory 'firmware' settings...

I really want some of those PCIe interposers those...

[EDIT]
It was IIRC one mobo company had a BIOS swapin such that you could change the 650e to a 670e or something very much like that IIRC, although I'm not really sure how that worked with all of the necesarry board traces and the like, although it would make sense if they use a pretty much similar base board design and usually don't connect unnecessary traces... who knows... but it would not surprise me as it would also make their BIOS management simpler, etc. especially if you do NOT have the production lines to truly produce individually all all of the variants. Better to do the big and just skip populating what you can, and the BIOS shoould be mostly adaptable across the product line, or so I would hope... e.g. things like sound chips, ether phys etc might require changes but mainly it would be the same UEFI image loading modular components...(BTW: Im talking out of my ass here as I only have a high level understanding of UEFI, and know that it has module support or at least EFI had module support and no I didn't/don't know EFI much better other than both are better than per device, device tree garbage)

3 pages of 'AI' generated comments? As, they're mostly about that quality other than I forgot about advent oif code, but now that Im thinking about that it was from the podcast, not this thread!

Only if you're new to Phoronix.
On one hand, there's only so much you can say in a title before it turns into a paragraph. On the other hand, people don't exactly throw money at Michael, so can you really blame him? Me, having been here for a while, I know exactly what to expect when I see a title like that.

I'm not, I was just having fun with your "stil......" part. Never mind.
