the post involves actual Intel firmware engineers solving actual problems for their embedded devices; one example of such a device is a power management controller within a chipset.
it is quite astounding to me that you're going to try to claim that Intel is using its own chips in an "incorrect" manner.
the presentation might help: https://youtu.be/Dt0vx-7e_B0?si=QLfI5-9LHh5ehb5a&t=326 https://youtu.be/Dt0vx-7e_B0?si=QLfI5-9LHh5ehb5a&t=326 where specifically the problem they have encountered is that the string constants end up roughly the size of their application code.
- javawizard 3y agoTo be fair, it's not immediately obvious that this blog post is authored by an Intel engineering lead. I had to track down his LinkedIn page to find that out.
- calamari4065 3y agoYeah, there's no indication at all what the use case here is from this post. And yes, I'd still argue this is poor design, it doesn't matter who designed it. We're all very aware that Intel is not immune to bad design decisions. It's quite astounding to me that you're claiming Itanium was a good design. /eyeroll
