minus-squareangarabebesi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 years agoMy problem with software defined silicon is that it allows restricting performance unless you pay Intel.

minus-squareangarabebesi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up6·4 years agoindeed. I’m very encouraged by the recent progress in RISC-V space. Maybe my next machine will be RISC-V.
minus-squareCjkOvPDwQw@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 years agoCould explain this silicon software thing ?
minus-squareangarabebesi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 years agoit allows Intel to throttle performance from the kernel. Basically they sell you the same hardware, but force you to pay more for more performance.

minus-squareCjkOvPDwQw@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 years agoDamn found that out. That’s just a new stupid way to capatilize … On the other end would be pretty nice if someone was able to unlock all features and release it
