#AMD #EPYC 4004 series is mighty impressive. Faster, cheaper and more efficient than Intel Xeon. There's even unofficial support for running it on consumer #AM5 boards. https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-epyc-4004

@9to5linux so what? That doesn't make Nvidia saint. Nvidia still has their proprietary vendor lock-in(s).

Is already?

No, I'll stay with .

AMDVLK ( Open Source Driver For ) 2024.Q2.1 is out now with Phoenix 2 support, Left 4 Dead 2 improvements, and support for new Vulkan extensions https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/releases/tag/v-2024.Q2.1

d3Xt3r Mod , to Linux in Linux 6.9 released

Here's the TL;DR from Phoronix:

  • AMD P-State Preferred Core handling for modern Ryzen systems. This is for leveraging ACPI CPPC data between CPU cores for improving task placement on AMD Ryzen systems for cores that can achieve higher frequencies and also helping in hybrid selection between say Zen 4 and Zen 4C cores. This AMD Preferred Core support has been in development since last year.

  • Performance gains on AMD 4th Gen EPYC

  • AMD FRU Memory Poison Manager merged along with other work as part of better supporting the AMD MI300 series.

  • AMD has continued upstreaming more RDNA3+ refresh and RDNA4 graphics hardware support into the AMDGPU driver.

  • Intel Xeon Max gains in some AI workloads

  • Intel FRED was merged for Flexible Return and Event Delivery with future Intel CPUs to overhaul CPU ring transitions.

  • Reworked x86 topology code for better handling Intel Core hybrid CPUs.

  • Intel Fastboot support is now enabled across all supported graphics generations.

  • Intel Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" tuning that can yield nice performance improvements for those using new Intel laptops.

  • Continued work on the experimental Intel Xe DRM kernel graphics driver that Intel is aiming to get ready in time for Xe2 / Lunar Lake.

Video, Filesystem & Network

  • Support for larger frame-buffer console fonts with modern 4K+ displays.

  • Dropping the old NTFS driver.

  • Improved case-insensitive file/folder handling.

  • Performance optimizations for Btrfs.

  • More efficient discard and improved journal pipelining for Bcachefs.

  • FUSE passthrough mode finally made it to the mainline kernel.

  • More online repair improvements for XFS.

  • Much faster exFAT performance when engaging the "dirsync" mount option.

  • Many networking improvements.

I find it funny that is collaborating with to make a handheld called and it's not but just yet another handheld like the rest of the fleet? Isn't Orange Pi a popular alternative to that sells ARM-based SBCs?

Power to them I guess but I definitely would love to see more ARM-based gaming handhelds (not , we have a ton of those already) available, no matter how "not ready" ARM + Linux gaming is. Software support could always be improved and worked on later down the road once the hardware is available to target.

AMD Zen 5 Execution Engine Leaked, Features True 512-bit FPU

Giving "Zen 5" a 512-bit FPU meant that AMD also had to scale up the ancillaries [..]. The L1 Data cache has been doubled in bandwidth, and increased in size by 50%. The L1D is now 48 KB in size [..]. FPU MADD latency has been reduced by 1 cycle. Besides the FPU, AMD also increased the number of Integer execution pipes to 10, from 8 on "Zen 4."

Beijing issues list of approved CPUs – with no Intel or AMD

AMD and Intel are not present on a list of processors approved by China's Information Security Evaluation Center.

[..]

The other approved chip shops make processors powered by Arm cores or, in the case of Loongson Technologies, the RISC-V architecture.

@arstechnica will just have to invent an open source “AMDI port”, I guess
