It is a bit shocking and sad to see AMD so far behind now in compute. Hopefully new cards soon to come will address this....

[wizard69]

Go AMD for finally having competitive processors. Frankly I see competition, good strong competition, as far more important than open FSP. The last...

[wizard69]

Does the end of 2019 seem like a long ways off? Further how can they not have AV1 by then?...

[wizard69]

Actually Apple is on A12 or A12X which can be described as rather incredible ARM processors. The high performance Apple is getting out of ARM hardware...

[wizard69]

Supporting 32 bit software in any matter is a waste of resources in my mind. I’d really like to see the kernel drop all 32 bit support. X32 is...

[wizard69]

This really isn’t true anymore, especially for mid stream users. It takes a lot of effort to use all available memory in today’s systems and simple...

[wizard69]

Why is it that the minute LLVM/CLang is mentioned in any post a bunch of nervous nellies have to chime in all concerned about why GCC was left out? ...

[wizard69]

I need to look more into Swerve but my understanding is that that is a 32 bit solution. Frankly I see it as a bit foolish to support Linux on 32 bit...

[wizard69]

Not really that is 120 bucks a year year after year. It isn’t a big deal for a professional user that leverages the app 8 hours a day but for anybody...

This is exactly why I’ve avoid Adobe products completely. My needs are not professional thus paying a subscription fee is total nonsense. Even a if...

I could say something nagative about The manufacture here but then it took almost a year for Ryzen Mobile to work properly under Linux. Makes you wish...

[wizard69]

Feels my dated isn’t a huge problem. I’d rather see a focus on performance myself. In any event Fedora is funny in some ways as it is supposedly...

[wizard69]

Wel yeah underwhelming if you are looking for an applications processor to replace an Intel chip. However there is still a lot of embedded 32 bit work...

[wizard69]

Makes me wonder how long it will be before we see advantages in Michaels benchmarking. The potential should be pretty good for any GPU compute apps...

[wizard69]

I’m not sure I would imply that big of a difference but even if your description holds it doesn’t make sense to start all over. Instead build on...

[wizard69]

This is the thought that came to mind first. You also have Vulkan but I always have considered OpenCL to be there specifically to compete with CUD...

[wizard69]

Well forking the kernel is fairly easy, there mush be hundreds of forks out there though most of them are for mainline development. The real answer...

[wizard69]

First off i had to look up what an SJW was. Frankly I have no idea what profanity has to do with social justice. Second if the the SJW are so afraid...

[wizard69]

Well if you are a designer you can create any standard you want.

My problem is that the card standard they are trying to create is a joke...

[wizard69]

The closest I’ve ever seen an individual or small team be successful is Parallax and their Propeller processor. A very interesting chip that is frankly...
