>I imagine (or hope/wish) that there will remain a market for machines that don't include this. I don't see a day when I'll be using AI systems on my own machines, and I don't want to pay for hardware support that I'll never use.
I dont understand, like... why bother?
You check what CPU instruction or what "tiles" your CPU has in order to decide which CPU has too much specialized stuff that you dont need?
- JohnFen 3y agoIt's what I said in my comment: if I'm not going to use it, I don't want to have to pay for it. If it exists but doesn't cost more money, doesn't increase complexity, energy use, etc., then I don't care one way or another.
- tester756 3y agoWell, since it is huge manufacturing at scale Then there's possibility that removing it could increase cost, who knows?
- JohnFen 3y agoMonetary cost, sure, but what about the other costs? Regardless, if that's the way things are going, then obviously I'll deal with it. In the meantime, though, this will certainly be a factor in my purchasing decisions as long as I continue to have a choice.
- AlotOfReading 3y agoYou're paying for all the silicon on the board either way. It's essentially impossible to buy modern components without paying for some amount of dead silicon you'll never use, even if it's just the debug circuits.
