Clearly AMD is now well above Intel in performance around AVX-512. This is somewhat unexpected.

If you're wondering why the architecture is called "amd64" and why the itanium disappeared... this is why. It was a very good stunt from AMD back then.

Nice exploration of the microcode patching flaw which was disclosed recently. This gives a glimpse at the high level of complexity the x86 family brings on the table.

Luckily this kind of very low level vulnerabilities are not too common and difficult to exploit. But when they get exploited all things break loose and you can't trust your hardware anymore.

Interesting article about what's coming for the branch predictor in the Zen 5 architecture from AMD.

Interesting project, could bring a boost in AMD GPUs usage for CUDA workloads.

A very precise and thorough article about GPU occupancy. What it is, how it relates to perceived performances, it's potentisl relationship with cache thrashing and the tools you can use to measure it on AMD GPUs.

Will AMD really turn this around? Wait and see.

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).
