I guess they're all on a drip-feed of Russian state-sponsored media, then. Try asking them where they get all their news and information and then go away...

[coder]

With Russia being one of the main state sponsors of cyber criminals, yes it worries me. Not only that, but they're also one of the more overtly oppressive...

I wanted ReactOS to be a practical alternative to Windows, but I've been disheartened by how far behind it has been.

More recently, I've...

Was it this? I think it's well beyond prototype stage, though.

Could it be the rumored Alchemist+ refresh is still in the works? I was disappointed to hear nothing about it, in a while. However, maybe I gave up...

[coder]

Hmm... link is broken for me.

Anyway, I'll bet its fan can get a bit loud. N100-class machines can easily reach > 20 W, under load. Of...

[coder]

Common sense should tell you that's not true. Search for 802.11ac and you'll find plenty.


You can get low-power x86 in a Pi form factor,...

[coder]

How much cost would that add? The price difference between routers supporting the two standards should give you a clue.


It's a good...

[coder]

Aside from the original VideoCore IV, have they ever officially disclosed specs of the GPUs (other than clock speed)?...

[coder]

That'd be useful, if we had any of those specs on the Pi 5's GPU. Yet, we don't, as far as I'm aware....

[coder]

It's popular because it's historically been cheap, for the amount of functionality you get. That's starting to change, but now it has a ton of market...

After the Pi 4's launch, Eben Upton spoke dismissively about OpenCL, but expressed more interest in OpenGL ES compute shaders. I assume it now supports...

[coder]

Wow, this is really nice to see! Once I saw the jump in CPU cores, I figured they probably blew most of their silicon budget on them, like in the Pi...

[coder]

BTW, the other half of this patchset is for APX. In my mind, that's actually more interesting. Intel claims a 10% performance improvement on scalar...

[coder]

I think the "double-pumped" term is doublespeak. It means the opposite of what the words suggest, in this context. It would be more accurate...

[coder]

LOL. I have no time for people who insist on solving the "year 2262" problem, today.

The thing I like about nanosecond timestamps...

[coder]

Yes, more packages with HWCAPS support, please!

[QUOTE=vegabook;n1410638]
I can't speak to their software, but I believe the iGPU hardware should use a MMU, for security reasons. That should...

They have shown something similar to Apple's M-series:

UCIe is the name of an industry standard -- not an Intel-specific technology.

Honestly, the chiplet vs. tile thing doesn't bother me even...
