Isn't this the desktop architecture that Torvalds suggested years ago?
- JonChesterfield 1y agoIt basically looks like a games console. Its not a conceptually difficult architecture, "what if the GPU and the CPU had the same memory?". Good things indeed.
- izacus 1y agoI don't know, but it's primarily very expensive to manufacture and hard to make expandable. You can see people in rage due to soldered RAM in this thread. There's always tradeoffs and people propose many things. Selling those things as a product is another game entirely.
- yonisto 1y agoThis how the Amiga worked 40 years ago...
- numpad0 1y agoFaster and bigger SRAM cache is as complicated of a solution as adding moar boosters to your rocket. It works, but expensive. RP2040 uses ~8x more die space as its dual CPU just for the RAM.
