This it not what I am referring to. I am referring to the chart posted in their official community post, most recently in June [1]. The chart is labelled "Intel Recommendations: 'Intel Default Settings'" (sic). Notice how "Baseline" is incomplete, and so is "Extreme". Also notice a bunch of notes saying "Intel does not recommend baseline" included on their "recommendations" chart. There's more of little gotchas like that if you pay attention. Also note that this chart has been quietly revised at least once as I have a version from back in April that was less stringent and less guarded with notes than it is now.

Not out yet. "Intel is delivering a microcode patch which addresses the root cause of exposure to elevated voltages. We are continuing validation to ensure that scenarios of instability reported to Intel regarding its Core 13th/14th Gen desktop processors are addressed. Intel is currently targeting mid-August for patch release to partners following full validation." https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/July-2024-Update-on-Instabil…

What do you mean by greatest and latest? Intel 3 is in high volume production, and Intel Xeon 6 chip, their datacenter offering, their bread and butter, are made on that process - [0] 18A is slated for 2025, not end of this year.

I feel you. I was very disappointed with the noise made by my nuc7i5bnh. Did a bit of research and found out that a) the default BIOS fan settings are crap and b) the installed fan is crap as well. Found some recommendations for the fan [1] and BIOS fan settings [2] on the internet and got my NUC completely silent. Perhaps that works for you as well?

Why would you buy an expensive card that doesn't allow AP mode on anything ac or ax? "Hello IAmMrZ Thank you for your patience in this matter. After checking this further, we would like to inform you that the engineering team confirmed that Intel® wireless products follow regulatory compliance and it is expected that AP mode cannot be enabled in non-2.4 GHz channels. We hope this clarifies your concerns. Best regards, Andrew G. Intel Customer Support Technician" https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/Intel-AX210-Gentoo-Linux-OS-Un… I'll be trying realtek 8822ce and 8852ae based pcie cards, using mainline Linux rtw88/89 drivers. Qualcomm based cards are also quite common in high end wifi routers. But they are pricey.

Wi-Fi Sensing (802.11bf) was scheduled for WiFi 7, which is present in recently announced "AI PCs". It works best with an on-device "AI" NPU that can perform inference on WiFi radar signals reflected from local humans and objects, to infer surrounding movement, breathing, keystrokes, location & more. It wasn't mentioned in recent device announcements, so perhaps the device firmware and algorithms are awaiting regulatory approval?

Sorry, but that understanding is dangerously incomplete. You're describing the first set of faults they uncovered, but there's also: "Microcode and BIOS code requesting elevated core voltages which can cause Vmin shift especially during periods of idle and/or light activity" (emphasis mine) https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Client/Intel-Core… Recall also that "Vmin shift" means "the minimum voltage the processor needs to run correctly goes up" so if the issue isn't addressed, that level of undervolt may stop working

It's next to impossible to get windows up and running if you dare not get a computer with it preinstalled, AHCI drivers are almost never included in the installation disc. And windows support gives you links to self installing exe files which you can't run, because you presumably run a linux live cd to be able to access the internet and ask for help, and exe files don't run on it, and can't be accessed by the windows installer either. Then windows and intel support decide to blame the customer, because it's never their company's fault. Sample conversation: https://community.intel.com/t5/Rapid-Storage-Technology/Intel-VMD-driv…

Intel did this with the ARC A750/770 https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/HDMI-2-1-UHD-144Hz-Arc-A750-A7…

> std::hardware_destructive_interference_size Exists so you don't have to guess, although in practice it'll basically always be 64. Unfortunately it's not quite true, do to e.g. spacial prefetching [0]. See e.g. Folly's definition [1].

You nerd sniped me a little and I'll admit I'm not 100% sure what a reduction is but I've understood it to be a measurement of work for scheduling purposes. A bit of googling indicates that actually you can use performance monitoring instur to generate an interrupt every n instructions. https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Tuning-Performance/How-to-gene… Which is part of the solution. Presumably the remainder of the solution is then deciding what to schedule next in a way that matches erlang. Disclaimer: this is based off some googling that makes it seem like hardware support the desired feature exists, not any actual working code.

It seems obvious that with hardware-level memory safety on the way[1], just gradually modernizing existing C and C++ codebases to take advantage of safer constructs (like smart pointers or checked arithmetic) makes much more sense than rewriting everything in Rust. Even better, thanks to GCC, is that you don't need to sacrifice any portability to take advantage of even bleeding-edge features, due to its front-end/back-end separation and multitude of supported platform back-ends. Fish shell had to drop support for some platforms when it was rewritten in Rust[2].

"Molex" usually refers to flat 4 pin AMP 1-480424-0 or Molex 8981-04P connectors(part number taken from random pdf on the Internet[1]). Confusing as it is... Actual Molex Mini-Fit are rarely colloquially referred to as Molex. 1: https://community.intel.com/cipcp26785/attachments/cipcp26785/intel-op…

One concern with PTWRITE is that it is somewhat "slow," at least according to this: https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/Intel-Processor-Trace-PTWRIT… I wonder if this is a general issue relating to memory ordering or out-of-order execution, or whether this can be implemented more efficiently in a different extension. Thank you for the linked article! Agreed on the huge potential for using these tools in production. The community could definitely benefit (even indirectly) by pushing for this kind of instruction set more widely.

Actually Eswin doesn't seem to claim B extension: https://www.eswincomputing.com/en/bocupload/2024/06/19/17187920991529e… But Intel Horse Creek did (and also was higher MHz, they said 2+ GH, but I think they demoed it at 2.2 at Hot Chips and were shooting for 2.4 in production): https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/open-intel/What-s… All will be revealed in 10 days or so.

https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/June-2024-Guidance-regarding… I've ran a 13900K from launch, no issues.

Did you talk to anyone from Intel? It seems they were also present: https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Artificial-Intell…

Our software changes submitted links to canonical URLs when it finds them, and that page has the canonical URL https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Cloud/bg-p/blog-c… I've fixed it above now.

enable settings that capped max watts and temperature for throttling to 90c. You were going above 90C before??? My first thought is that seems insane, but is apparently normal for that chip, according to Intel: "your processor supports up to 100°C and any temperatures below it are normal and expected" https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/i9-14900K-temperatures/td-p/… That is just wild though. On one hand you should obviously get the performance that was advertised and that you paid for. On the other hand IMO operating a CPU at 90-100C is just insane. It really feels like utter desperation on Intel's part. I would be curious what kind of cooling setup you have.

For both RF sampling and Zero-IF the two of the most popular analog manufacturers are TI and Analog Devices. It's rather intriguing that for RF sampling technology, Intel has recently join the bandwagon and called it a game changing technology when the RF sampling is integrated with high speed FPGA [1].

Thanks for sharing, I'll check it out. It would be interesting to see if it would help with these pretty astonishing Open Omics results that recently came out: https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Artificial-Intell…
