What sort of features 🤔

[-] SuperIce@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

Ones that are built into the CPU's hardware but you have to pay extra to unlock like a DLC for your CPU. That's not a joke, Intel's new Xeons are like that.

Great, now we have to pirate processor DLC.

[-] Feyter@programming.dev 18 points 1 year ago

And that's when you remember why you have been an average AMD enjoyer.

Yeah its crazy. And according to Wendell at Level1Techs its actually a huge benefit but yeah, especially at a datacenter scale I can't see anyone buying chips with dlc. Especially with Epyc currently spanking everyone's butt right now.

That seems like a big security risk.

AMX, I guess?

That said, being a "fan" of either company over the other is pretty cringe. When you're getting a new CPU, just go with whoever's got the best stuff this generation
