Over 250 billion Arm chips have shipped since the first #ARM1 processor launched 40 years ago
ARM1 #CPU ended up being a pioneering #RISC chip, featuring just 6,000 gates, while modern Arm processors feature more than 100 million.
Arm admits that the signature quality of its chips – their energy efficiency – was driven out of frugality they couldn't afford ceramic chip packaging so had to be very strict about efficiency, so plastic packaging would be acceptable.

Chester Lam bravely attempts to make a #CPU sound as exciting as a bowl of plain cereal. Zhaoxin's latest chip promises to revolutionize your life by... being named after a street. Just remember, it's the thought (and government funding) that counts!

Apparently, Intel-CPUs are no longer a factor for certain applications. Instead, Apple chips are increasingly being adopted, even in datacenters. I think it's just a matter of time until Apple starts producing server hardware again. It would also make sense for Apple to finally offer official support for Linux Kernel development on their hardware.

Brought together our two #TitanComputers that used to support two different projects to set up a small #MPI / #OpenMP cluster (96 physical cores, 1TB DRAM, 40TB storage). We will probably drop a couple of GPUs inside them later on, but for now, they will support our EMR data analytics on the #CPU

Nach nur einer Generation wechselt #Intel mit seinen kommenden #NovaLake-#Chips schon wieder den #CPU-#Sockel. Wer den #Prozessor seines PCs upgraden will, muss also gleich ein ganz neues Mainboard kaufen. https://winfuture.de/news,150437.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

Friend of mine in the #Arikoto #OSDev #Discord server just asked me:

“CPU hotplugging support when?”

We don’t even have userspace yet nor does paging work properly.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN CPU HOTPLUGGING SUPPORT WHEN???

I stumbled upon an interesting blog today while searching for an image of the Silicon Graphics 3D cube logo. Named "Abort Retry Fail" by Bradford Morgan White, the blog's articles document computer history. I eventually wound up reading three of them.

#Turbostat Utility Bumps 1024 #CPU Core Limit To 8192 Cores After #HPE Breaches It With a 1152 Core unnamed system.
We currently aren't aware of any server CPU configurations that can exceed this limit (in terms of physical cores), so this may be a custom or next-generation solution from #Intel or #AMD. The utility currently only supports #x86 processors, which seemingly rules out an Arm system from causing the issue.

It’s not just clock speed: Here’s what makes one CPU better than another

“When you’re comparing two of the best CPUs, the first spec that comes to mind is clock speed. It quite literally represents how fast the CPU can churn through clock cycles, and naturally, you’d assume a higher clock speed means higher performance. ...continues
