Haven't Intel tried this before?
A quick search hints at [1] circa 2010, but I think I recall a previous attempt circa 2004
I'm pretty sure it was unpopular and short-lived.

- pabs3 5y agoYeah, the LWN comments mention that Intel attempt and some other ones like the RPi video decoders.
- benreesman 5y agoI hate to be a hater, I grew up on Intel. But they’ve been doing increasingly desperate cash-grab stuff for years and years now. Oh great, let’s default all the ML stuff to the SIMD extension that doesn’t de-clock you. How did I ever live without it. I want them to win on some level, but this isn’t how to do that. If I had to I could tweak/fix/touch-up re-build all my stuff on ARM and life would go on.
