what about the ones from CIX like the orangepi or their framework mainboard? (though I agree, I miss UEFI for all its faults)

- grigio 3mo agoi hope, but i dubt that will be mass produced.. so no economy of scale
- officeplant 3mo agoThose are currently suffering from high power draw because they have to keep the cores awake for memory speeds. Lackluster performance as well, but thats the problem with the majority of the ARM ecosystem ever since apple started crafting SoCs.
- kjs3 3mo agoI must have missed something...what does Apple creating M-series have to do with Allwinner, Qualcom, Mediatek, AWS, and the rest of the ARM ecosystem having 'lackluster performance'?
- officeplant 3mo agoThey showed what ARM could pull off, and no one has caught up since at least on a single core performance level.
- kjs3 3mo agoAh...it's "they haven't matched Apple" (not even Graviton?), not "Apple impeded them in some way". Fair, but that was not clear.
- eqvinox 3mo agoYou do actually get UEFI on a few of these, though personally I've always fared better with U-Boot. (Sooner or later, I always run into something that is a simple edit in the device tree or uEnv, but UEFI doesn't expose.)
