Interesting take. Will it lead to paying more attention to performance in software? Will it be the rise of the specialized CPUs? Time will tell.

Interesting position from AMD regarding the race on the next super computers. They're all being caught up by energy efficiency so it'll need to be addressed both at the processor architecture level but also at the software architecture level. How we design our computing tasks will matter more and more.

Interesting, this is likely a good thing for everyone to have AMD very much alive and the dominance of Intel fading away a bit. I wonder how the ARM based processors will position themselves in the server space in the future, this is still not much there (contrary to mobile).

Nice nugget reminding us the early steps and basic mechanisms of the CPU life at boot.

Oh this is really neat! This is a good way to visualize how it evolved over time, I find the period starting in 2005 especially interesting.

Interesting analysis about the likely path ahead for Intel.

This is a very interesting deep dive in how branch predictors work. Also comparing timing profiles between different families of CPUs.
