Welcome to /aig/ - Advent Calendar EditionIn this ITT we discuss non-x86 ISAs from the past (6502, 68000, Alpha, Itanium, PA-RISC, PowerPC, SuperH, VAX, Z80, PDP-11), the present (ARM, MIPS, POWER, SPARC) and the future (RISC-V, OpenPOWER).>Wiki: https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki//aig/_Alternative_ISA_General>Library: https://mega.nz/file/0PplHSyL#eK_f2ZSc2f0E8_RLUGz9nVn40myXhyiRDMU_FhgO2wk>Anon's Strawpoll: https://strawpoll.com/py64hxj18>OP pasta: https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/AigOPmsgNews:>RISC-V-based ESP32-P4 handheld integrates AMOLED display and LoRahttps://archive.ph/wip/oC9rg>New Patches Lay Out Linux Kernel Adjustments For RISC-V RVA23 Hardwarehttps://archive.ph/wip/S2z16>NextSilicon Claims Its Maverick-2 Outperforms NVIDIA GPUs, Unveils New RISC-V Chiphttps://archive.is/wip/MD8aj>ESWIN EBC7702 Mini-DTX motherboard offers EIC7702X RISC-V SoC, up to 64GB RAM, Ubuntu 24.04 supporthttps://archive.is/wip/aDlqg>Imagination PowerVR Driver With Linux 6.18 To Support RISC-Vhttps://archive.ph/EqSq4>DeepComputing's DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard II For Framework Laptop Launches For $349https://archive.ph/2tQr3>In a Surprise Move, NVIDIA Brings CUDA to RISC-V Processorshttps://archive.ph/wip/XVox7
ahahahahahahaRISC was a mistake.
/aig/ - ARM Indignation GeneralWelcome to /aig/ - ARM Indignation GeneralUnlike the UEFI Forum that oversees x86 OEMs and mandates all x86 PCs implement UEFI and allow end users to run any code they want, including bootloaders for any OS they want, ARM allows complete "freedom" for corponigger ARM OEMs to release billions upon billions of completely locked down unserviceable unmaintainable planned obsolescence 5-year-lifespan-maximum ARM devices with zero user freedoms.When's the last time you saw a functioning ARM computer older than 5 years? How about 10 years?x86 computers from 1980 are still in use to this day, running trains, airports, power plants, factories, even nuclear missile silos, and they're all completely serviceable with original parts from 1980, or after market parts made 4 decades later.UEFI has existed for two decades, BIOS for four decades, ARM has been around nearly that entire time and has outright refused to standardize or mandate a booting system that gives users even a shred of freedom. ARM have sat back for decades and enabled and encouraged ARM OEMs to completely and totally fuck ARM users with planned obsolescence in the name of profits. They have completely infested the mobile industry with their locked down shit ISA and now want to infest the desktop industry as well.ARM is a cancerous blight on computing whose only function is to strip away and undermine the ideals and principles of personal computing freedoms and liberties by forcing normies to accept having zero freedoms.ARM is the single greatest threat to computing freedoms in the history of computers.Not surprisingly ARM was co-founded and funded by the most freedom-hating globohomo niggerlover corporation in history: Apple.ITT we discuss non-ARM ISAs from the past (6502, 68000, Alpha, Itanium, PA-RISC, SuperH, VAX, Z80, PDP-11), the present (x86, MIPS, SPARC) and the future (RISC-V, etc).
