16:57:27 <hyc> at 1.1V, that's quite impressive. dunno what it can actually compute at that speed tho
17:00:06 <kinghat[m]> you think arm will ever get to the point of being able to write an OS to "arm" like is done for x86? rather than each arm device needing its own special os?
17:00:46 <hyc> it's already happening in server space, UEFI standards, the whole lot
17:01:15 <hyc> will take a lot longer for TVboxes and other small consumer devices, there's not much motivation and hardware vendors want to differentiate
17:02:48 <hyc> so this risc-v company claims 13,000 coremarks at 5 GHz
17:03:14 <hyc> AMD threadripper hits 1.1M coremarks at 3.8GHz https://www.eembc.org/coremark/scores.php
17:03:36 <hyc> seems to me coremarks scoring is stupid and should be listed per core, not per chip
17:03:49 <hyc> but at least they record the number of threads, so you can factor it out yourself
17:04:21 <hyc> .c 304.40 / 48
17:04:25 <hyc> oops not here
17:04:54 <hyc> 6.34 coremarks/MHz per thread for ryzen
17:05:29 <hyc> 2.6 coremarks/MHz per thread for that RISC-V
17:05:44 <hyc> so still no contest.
17:06:12 <kinghat[m]> arm will workout for apple since they control tip to tail, but how will the rest of the industry do it without an OS for all arm? like are we going to have DellOS, LenovOS, etc? i feel like thats not going to work out very well and lead to tons of abandon ware. hard enough to get bios updates as is.
17:06:47 <hyc> Dell and Lenovo build to industry standards already so there's no problem there
17:07:15 <hyc> Debian for ARM64 runs out of the box on a bunch of ARM devices
17:07:18 <hyc> just not 100%
17:09:15 <kinghat[m]> so its accurate to say that dell, lenovo, etc, will be having arm devices that run on the major linux distros and win arm?
17:15:32 <hyc> eh, I haven't seen any of them announce any ARM devices yet
17:24:27 <kinghat[m]> no, but its inevitable, isnt it?
17:25:23 <hyc> I would hope so ;)
20:20:30 <gingeropolous> total miners 51075
20:23:24 <kinghat[m]> i hope thats a script 🤓
20:25:20 <moneromooo> You can check by counting them all, and comparing. If he's off by a few, different each time, it's a script.
