Good thing Apple is moving to M1; no more of that Intel crap. and stick with AMD for Linux.

Good thing Apple is moving to M1; no more of that Intel crap. and stick with AMD for Linux.
- userbinator 6y agoI wonder what interesting things are in Apple's completely undocumented chips? There is that famous saying about known unknowns and unknown unknowns...
- olliej 6y agoNo more or less so than intel or amd. Or is the problem that the entire implementation is not public? Because even risc5 doesn't require that.
- mhh__ 6y agoThat isn't true. AMD aren't great at it, but Intel publish thousands and thousands of pages of manuals. They don't have the secret sauce in them as per se but Apple literally will not publish jack shit about anything inside M1.
- userbinator 6y ago"Intel x86 documentation has more pages than the 6502 has transistors": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13126248 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13126248 There's also the "unpublished" stuff that occasionally leaks here and there; not something which I suspect will ever happen with Apple, but you never know...
- wealthyyy 6y agoM1 Jackshit ahahhaha
- Daho0n 6y agoUntrue. There're more documentation on Intel's CPU than Apple provide on an entire M1 laptop.
- olliej 5y ago.. you mean the ARM specifications?
- Daho0n 6y agoOut of the frying pan into the fire.
- baq 6y agodo you think the M1 doesn't have security bugs?
- NullPrefix 5y agoApple's M1 too supports Spectre. >The demonstration website can leak data at a speed of 1kB/s when running on Chrome 88 on an Intel Skylake CPU. Note that the code will likely require minor modifications to apply to other CPUs or browser versions; however, in our tests the attack was successful on several other processors, including the Apple M1 ARM CPU, without any major changes. https://security.googleblog.com/2021/03/a-spectre-proof-of-concept-for-spectre.html https://security.googleblog.com/2021/03/a-spectre-proof-of-c...
