Xa uJim Keller wayeku-AMD, enye yeeprojekthi awayeziqalisile yayiyi Uyilo lobuchwephesha beK12. I-AMD yayisele ikhuphe i-Opteron A-Series, esekwe kwii-ARM Cortex cores, kodwa bafuna ukuya phambili ngokwakhiwa kwezinto ezincinci ngaphandle kwe-IP cores njengangaphambili. Oko kukuthi, yinto enye eyenziwe ngu-Apple Silicon ngoku. Kodwa loo mveliso yashiywa ...
... okanye mandithi, bayishiya ifihlekile. Akukho nto yayisaziwa ngaye, kwaye iminyaka eliqela idlulile ekubeni imveliso yokugqibela kufanele ukuba yakhululwa ngaphandle kokwazi nantoni na. Ngoku i-AMD ifumene lo msebenzi kwaye ilungiselela enye indlela eya I-Apple M1 SoC. I-SoC entsha ene-ARM CPU eyilwe ngabo kunye ne-DRAM edibeneyo.
Olu lwakhiwo lwe-K12 FFX lwalusekwe kwi I-8-bit ISA ARMv64, Kwaye ekuqaleni yayijolise ekwenzeni iichips zeeseva ezifanelekileyo. Kodwa ngoku injongo ye-AMD ayenziwanga icace gca. Banokujoliswa kwizizukulwana ezitsha zeencwadana ezinemisebenzi ephezulu kunye nezixhobo eziphathwayo.
Yintoni ebonakala icacile kukuba bafuna ukubheja okuphumeleleyo, besebenzisa ii-ARM cores kunye URadeon GPU (RDNA2) zidityaniswe kwi-SoC enye. Into ofuna ukuyenza Samsung. Ngale ndlela, ukusebenza kwamandla kunye nokusebenza kwee-ARM zidityanisiwe, kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kwemizobo yeRadeon, eya kuthi igqithe ii-GPUs ezisetyenzisiweyo kwihlabathi le-ARM (jonga iPowerVR, iAdreno, ...).
Ngaba oku kungasombulula ingxaki ye-M1 GPU eyayithethwa nguLinus Torvalds?. Ewe kuya kuba ngumdla, kuba kwiRadeon GPUs kukho abaqhubi, ke kunokuba lula kakhulu lungelelanisa i-Linux ukuze isebenze ngokugqibeleleyo kwezi chips. Ngaba baya kuba ngamaqela uLinus Torvalds athemba kakhulu? Siza kubona, kodwa iindaba, nangona ingekabikho idatha eninzi okwangoku, kubonakala ngathi inomdla kakhulu ...
