4. No recent reposts

VS? Wasn't x86-64 originally an ARM creation?
No, it was an AMD creation. Intel created their Itanium 64 bit architecture but it failed and died out completely
Ah, right, I got my acronyms confused.
It took me a few seconds to realise that graph is y=x*86-64.
Subtle shade, I like it
This hurts my brainhole.
Nice.
This is accurate, am consuming RISC V (news) for the emotional high, temporary bursts of irrational hope and am addicted.
Don't worry, in a few years China will release some comparable and powerful RISC-V processors with some brand new in house fabs.
Although by that point it'll probably have 300% tariff, so probably stick to TSMC x86 and ARM anyway lol
I've never tried RISC-V but I still need my fix!
btw ARM Holdings stocks have entered what I consider the affordable range, since Trump is tanking the US economy. Still RISCy. Just sayan.
Just sayan.
Itβd be cool to learn about the machining of a processor but itβs unfortunately out of my reach
Wow, just wow.
Risc 5 is the hand.
