Phoronix: QEMU 1.7 Is Bringing New Features For Linux Emulation

QEMU 1.7.0-rc2 was released yesterday and if all goes according to plan the official QEMU 1.7 release will happen on Wednesday. This next QEMU emulator update that's also relied upon by Linux KVM will bring some exciting improvements...

And still no proper graphics support...

The recompiling efficiency - Instruction Set to Instruction Set, is still a garbage. No multithread transcoding, no static bytecode extensions (the program must recompile everything again), no accelerated transcoder (OpenCL or BMI instructions support), indirect - slow transcoding (still disassemble and reassemble again), just make a program that decides via two Cpu backends - what is the fastest way to directly convert the code with bit manipulation. An 80% efficiency must be reached immediately. Until then my opinion will be the same: as with Wine and D3D situation, in Qemu there are Intel-MS agents doing damage.

One 1TB of RAM? That's probably archived by heavy swapping on the host?
