@teppa Interface between chiplets still introduces latency. Perhaps photonics will eventually overcome this but it is currently an issue with chiplet designs.
@cm0002 This site, friendica.eskimo.com/, is running on an 18 core 36 thread CPU clocked at 4.5Ghz with 256GB of RAM, the CPU itself cost me less than $400, can't find anything close in that price range from AMD and sure as hell not Crapple.
@cm0002 You know about one cookie / two cookie children, those who are willing to delay gratification for a larger long term reward? Intel has always been a two cookie company, their investment in high numerical aperture extreme ultra violate fabs being a case in point. This is going to make them competitive with ASML and domestically to boot which means if China does take over Taiwan they'll be in an extra good place, not that I believe this is likely. But I believe this investment will serve them well in the long term even if it means some short term pain.
@cm0002 Running 6.15.5 self compiled kernel, had some stability issues in 6.14 that didn't resolve even up to end of life, but have not had this issue with 6.15.
@cm0002 All of the Redhat derivatives, including Alma dropped NIS support after 8, which is why my Alma server is still at Alma 8. They expect us to "upgrade" into LDAP but LDAP makes things unnecessarily complicated, like changing login shells, so a no go.
