Did you know that the 'NT' in Windows NT stood for "Nine Ten"?

The intended core platform for the OS was the then-expected Intel i910 RISC processor, which was to be the rebranded moniker for the i860 that can be found in the wild. *

It never came to be due to the i860s terrible handling of context switching -- a capability that a CPU for a multitasking, multiuser workstation OS must be able to do _very_efficiently_. The i860 wasn't.

*** EDIT: Several have pointed to sources indicating differently that NT stood for N10, which was the codename for the i860, so -- N10, N-Ten > NT.

El 16 de junio de 1988, Intel lanzó al mercado el procesador i386SX de 32 bits, de bajo costo, pero el estándar eran 16 bits lo que complicaba el rendimiento. Luego fue rebautizado como 386DX #retrocomputingmx

Is there a place to find a list of #CPUs that are 5nm or smaller and 5W #TDP or lower? Bonus points if they list all #RISCV #ARM and #x86 #ISA #Processors

Surprise Intel seeing huge demand for older Raptor Lake CPUs, not the fancy new AI ones. Turns out most people arent paying extra for AI, especially with recession jitters. Good enough beats bleeding edge right now.

Linux 6.16 will warn users about outdated Intel microcode

Intel is routinely releasing new microcode for their processors to improve the processor’s performance and to fix critical issues, especially when dealing with security vulnerabilities that may be found in old microcode versions. This is to ensure that your system becomes more secure than before by eliminating security vulnerabilities.

A patch has been queued to the Linux kernel tip repository that will make its way to the Linux 6.16 kernel. It warns the user on boot that the microcode version for the processor is old and that it needs to be updated to ensure security. Userspace applications can determine whether your computer is using the old microcode via the /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/old_microcode file.

The kernel, if running in the old microcode, will be tainted with the TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC flag, making it more difficult for kernel bugs that have to do with the old microcode to be reported directly to the bug tracker. The implementation relies on a manually-maintained list of processors found in the intel-ucode-defs.h file. It contains a list of structures that contain the following variables:

flags: List of flags (always X86_CPU_ID_FLAG_ENTRY_VALID)
vendor: Processor vendor (always X86_VENDOR_INTEL)
family: Processor family (usually 0x6 or 0xf)
model: Processor model
steppings: Processor stepping
driver_data: Processor microcode ID as an integer
