AMD claims Arm ISA doesn't offer efficiency advantage over x86

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-09 20:36:00

SL2 I'm surprised that AMD included Intel here.. That doesn't mean that it absolutely can't be done these days. However, I highly doubt that it could be done 20 years ago. Even if it's possible today, there's really no reason to make x86 for phones because the cost for development is too high and there's stiff competition.. ARM does the job perfectly. piloponth There was an initiative from Intel - x86S - scrape all legacy from the ISA and start fresh from x86_amd64. That bavkward com

Firefox 32-bit Linux Support to End in 2026

news.ycombinator.com Julien Cristau 2025-10-07 12:07:07

For many years, Mozilla has continued to provide Firefox for 32-bit Linux systems long after most other browsers and operating systems ended support. We made this choice because we care deeply about keeping Firefox available to as many people as possible, helping our users extend the life of their hardware and reduce unnecessary obsolescence. Today, however, 32-bit Linux (on x86) is no longer widely supported by the vast majority of Linux distributions, and maintaining Firefox on this platform

Arm desktop: emulation

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-03 04:26:56

This post is part 5 of the "Let me try to use an AArch64 system as a desktop" series: Whenever people use a non-x86 system, sooner or later someone asks: “But can it run [name of x86-64 only binary]?”. So, let’s check how to make it possible. Software stack When you look for ‘how to run x86-64 apps on Fedora/Arm’, you usually end up with Asahi’s documentation about it. It is a good thing to read to understand the stack. But if your Arm system runs a 4K page size kernel, then most of that doc

“Surface Laptop 5G” for businesses shows Microsoft isn’t done with Intel yet

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-05 11:00:22

Microsoft has gone all-in on Arm-based Qualcomm Snapdragon X-series chips for its Surface PCs, including the less-expensive-but-more-compromised 13-inch Surface Laptop and 12-inch Surface Pro from this spring. But the company still hasn't quite given up on businesses and individuals who still want or require a traditional Intel or AMD-based x86 PC. The latest addition to the lineup is the "Surface Laptop 5G," an updated version of the Intel-based 13.8-inch Surface Laptop with built-in 5G cellul

Mandelbrot in x86 Assembly by Claude

news.ycombinator.com Simon Willison 2026-02-14 09:31:08

Mandelbrot in x86 assembly by Claude. Inspired by a tweet asking if Claude knew x86 assembly, I decided to run a bit of an experiment. I prompted Claude Sonnet 4: Write me an ascii art mandelbrot fractal generator in x86 assembly And got back code that looked... like assembly code I guess? So I copied some jargon out of that response and asked: I have some code written for x86-64 assembly using NASM syntax, targeting Linux (using system calls for output). How can I run that on my Mac?
