We need more CPU manufacturers not just a Qualcomm monopoly.

We need more CPU manufacturers not just a Qualcomm monopoly.
- snvzz 2y agoBest to look at RISC-V, then. Proliferation of third party ARM designs is unlikely to ever happen now.
- kombine 2y agoFramework announced the RISC-V laptop just recently, which is really fucking on a raspberry PI-like single board computer on the their chassis. What I'm personally bothered about is the use of proprietary apps that are already provided for Linux on x86, and frankly no one will bother to build them for RISC-V.
- darthrupert 2y agoI'm worried that most, if not all, Riscv inplementations are coming from China.
- Rinzler89 2y agoI don't get the use of fucking in your context. Is that a autocorrect issue?
- prmoustache 2y ago> What I'm personally bothered about is the use of proprietary apps that are already provided for Linux on x86 Frankly apart from gamers it is not very common to use proprietary apps on Linux. I could still count my installed proprietary apps with my fingers if I was a limb amputee. Gamers choose their hardware based on the games they want to play, not the opposite anyway so they are just not the target market.
- classichasclass 2y ago> frankly no one will bother to build them for RISC-V. Welcome to our pain in OpenPOWER world, though at least we have the weight of IBM to encourage some ports, and for the big Power chips emulation is still reasonably practical.
- goosedragons 2y agoMediaTek is rumored to be planning ARM chips for PC in 2025. We'll see if they bother with Linux support.
- delfinom 2y agoMediaTek has been in permanent third place to Qualcomm, and even Samsung's Exynos for a long time. It'll be a miracle for them to produce something even competitive in the PC space.
- luyu_wu 2y agoThis is heavily outdated. Dimensity 9300 is ahead of both SNDG3 and A17 in MC benchmarks. The GPU is highly competitive too. It's somewhat laughable to compare it to Exynos :)
- AtlasBarfed 2y agoDid NVidia give up when the merger/acquisition of ARM was denied? And Apple, look I get that the MBAs view PC/Notebooks as a non-growth industry, but it is still huge, and Apple may be scraping the barrel on iPhones. Why sit on hardware AND OS that is generally better than everyone elses in the consumer space?
- halJordan 2y agoNvidia still makes cpu cores, but they are only sold on gpu boards
- kristianpaul 2y agoMNT reform recently added support for rockchip
