minus-squareangarabebesilinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 years agoMy problem with software defined silicon is that it allows restricting performance unless you pay Intel.
minus-squareangarabebesilinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 years agoindeed. I’m very encouraged by the recent progress in RISC-V space. Maybe my next machine will be RISC-V.
