From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Imagine Linux on an Arm SoC that benchmark better than Apple's M2 Max! (youtu.be)

Qualcomm brought a company named Nuvia, which are ex-Apple engineers that help designed the M series Apple silicon chips to produce Oryon which exceeds Apple’s M2 Max in single threaded benchmarks.

The impression I get is than these are for PCs and laptops

I’ve been following the development of Asahi Linux (Linux on the M series MacBooks) with this new development there’s some exciting times to come.

M3 is not faster than any AMD or Intel. And PC chips are using very old process nodes. Once Intel gets to 2nm, Apple chips will feel like dumbphone SOCs from the early 2000-s running J2ME applets.

Isn't Intel still stuck on 12nm?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They have moved to 10nm nodes which have density of 7nm nodes of TSMC afaik. They call these nodes Intel 7.

Afaik, Intel is also planning to move Intel 5 and other nodes.

10nm.

Once Intel gets to 2nm

So in like 10 years from now?

Who knows? Intel works in mysterious ways.
