Mesa Considers Dropping Default Support for 16 Year Old x86 CPUs
- jsz0 6y agoJudging by performance per watt I doubt there's any 16 year old CPU that's justifiable to use for anything except a space heater
- kwonyuri 6y agoI mentioned this in #dri-devel when I talked to the Mesa developers: They should decide on a number of years where it is acceptable to say "that's too old". Not sure what number that would be. I too doubt that anyone is still using a 32-bit computer that's more than 16 years old today. But you have to draw the line somewhere. 5 years? 10? 20? I think 10 would be a reasonable number, but that's just my humble opinion.
