For AMD Users, Linux 4.2 Will Bring The New AMDGPU Driver & VCE1 For Radeon

[d2kx]

I mean, it works quite fine so far, but probably uses the vulnerable Agesa code (Rudolf Marek at CCC 2014) and Biostar doesn't put updated code online

If you use Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install amd64-microcode - and it will use newer microcode with each boot.

I think you guys are talking about different microcode -- Adarion is talking about microcode for the system management unit (which comes with the AGESA bundle) while d2kx is talking about microcode for the AMD64 CPU.

I think Adarion and d2kx need to watch this presentation, one to check affected versions @42:10 and one to learn more about it

I thought Kabini and Kaveri already had lots of that on the Chip? ...

Kabini is no high-performance APU.
Kaveri is no SOC.

Fuji is probably not GPU anymore, but GSOC... C-L + GSOC == NNX

Would you mind explaining these acronyms? For me, GSOC == Google Summer of Code (I assume you mean Graphics System-on-Chip) and I have no idea for the rest of them.
I also assume you mean Fiji (aka Radeon Fury, named after an archipelago) and not Fuji (mountain (volcano I think?) in Japan IIRC).

Edit: I think I figured the rest out: C-L = Carrizo-L, NNX= Nintendo Project NX. Correct?

Bingo, it wasn't that hard isn't it

GSOC is really just a joke, where i have in mind Intel CPU is always CPU whatever they put in it is nothing but CPU... and yeah because practice that Fiji has memory on it, it is probably not just GPU anymore, so it deserve better name

With AMD we have CPU; APU, SoC, True SOC and GSOC (something like Graphic Stacked on Chip)

edit: who knows in following years amdgpu driver might easely became amdgsoc

Intel CPU is always CPU whatever they put in it is nothing but CPU.

Actually, all Intel stuff is APUs, has been since Sandy Bridge. It just isn't called such, but an APU is CPU+GPU on the same chip, and that's exactly what Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge/Baytrail/Haswell/Broadwell are.

If you want to describe Intel's CPUs using AMD's naming scheme then Intel is an APU too but it is not, as you said... as Intel does not use that acronym it is called exactly how company decide to call it - CPU still.

Again it does not matter what you put in it, even if someone reinvent Tesla's Electric Car which uses current from the earth + put in there airplane with 10 elephants in it... it is still nothing, but - a car .

If users choose to call it like that it is their freedom... that is why Fiji is GSoC for me
