Interesting it is the Chinese processors (e.g. Allwinner, T-Head, Rockchip) that happen to be free of this secure boot garbage by default. If you want to you can blow an efuse (with power applied to the VPP pin) and enable secure boot. But otherwise it's off.
I am waiting for a high performance ARM or RISC-V chip that's on par with AMD and Intel performance. One without secure boot. The moment that comes out, my Ryzen system is going in the bin immediately.
- Sunspark 3y agoOn par? Depends which year you're targeting and perhaps what applications. If you mean on par with current year then it'll be a long time before that happens because AMD and Intel are able to run power-hungry while ARM and RISC-V try to use less power.
- snvzz 3y ago>If you mean on par with current year then it'll be a long time Tenstorrent Ascalon, a RISC-V CPU TBA 2024, has performance competitive with projected Zen5 performance, while using less power. As Zen5 is also TBA 2024, they'll be on par in the same year. RISC-V is inevitable.
