What in the fuck bloated skylab hokey ass shit were your devs making 15 years ago that demanded that kind of rocketship?

I mean, if it wasn't packaged up in the American flag and pax americana, your nations actions would be that of clearly terrorist nation.

I don't expect the taliban to have a working legal/justice system either.

My point it isn't 2x arm and 2x riscv. They recycle most of the silicon used.

Low effort. Try harder.

Yeah but they weren't running both in the same device at the same time.

PPC -> Intel they just recompiled their OS and fixed it up for the x86 platform, then the same for Intel -> ARM

They did not have a laptop with an x86 processor and a PPC at the same time.. though there are some hillariously bespoke accellerator cards from back in the day to do all sorts of strange things.

That said, laptops are full of microcontrollers with firmware, lots of those will be atmega, st32, 6502 and the like. Things like a WLAN or WAN card will be a little ARM soc of some flavour.

So it really depends on where you draw the line. If its executing the main workload, I'd say thats the CPU, everything else is a microcontroller enabling it to do that

SG2002/SG2000 and the CV1800B chips by MilkV

Its actually not seperate cores, they're RISCV or ARM, based on a switch. MilkV does that too with one of its chips. They're mostly the same architecturally, theres something like 10% that gets enabled/disabled with each ISA selection.

Haha look at this dumbass, he thinks being stupid is aspirational.

PS3 comes to mind

Though in embedded, thats fairly normal.

I've got a $1 linux embedded SoC that has a 64 bit riscv core, a 32 bit riscv core for running realtime stuff and a low power embedded 6502 on it too because why not.

The AI bubble is an American phenomenon and their SEC isn't slowing down the insanity. Their lack of a functional SEC is everyones problem.

[–] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

blatantly false advertising.

SEC is neutered, what makes you think anyone in charge of advertising rules hasn't been replaced by a 17 year old called Goebbels Gobbler or something with a DOGE laptop.

I mean.. how else do they get funded? Someones payin' for those studies.
