On April 2, 1997, AMD released a new CPU. If it succeeded, AMD had a chance at success. If it failed, AMD would probably fail with it. That CPU was the K6, and it revitalized AMD, letting them move to the middle of the market, where margins were high enough to fund its future CPUs. #RetroComputing #TechHistory #ComputerArchitecture #Innovation #TechMilestones #1990sTech https://dfarq.homeip.net/amd-k6-released-april-2-1997/

¿Algún experto en sistemas operativos o en arquitectura de computadores me puede comprobar que este diagrama es correcto? Lo acabo de crear en @drawio partiendo de varios gráficos de "Sistemas Operativos" de Gary Nutt (Ed. Pearson).

¡Mil gracias!

Notes on the Pentium's Microcode Circuitry

https://www.righto.com/2025/03/pentium-microcde-rom-circuitry.html

One of the best interviews on AI and GPUs I've every seen was posted earlier today. Jensen Huang is really super smart in my opinion, and I think this interview is definitely worth watching. I can understand how it was a person like him who turned NVIDIA into a company with a market cap more than 1 trillion USD.

Intel released a new CPU on March 22, 1993. Instead of a part number, it had a brand name. Calling it Pentium instead of 586 helped Intel's problem with clones. https://dfarq.homeip.net/what-came-after-486/ #CPUHistory #ComputerArchitecture #Innovation #TechThrowback #1990sTech #Microprocessors #RetroComputing

Inside SiFive’s P550 Microarchitecture
https://old.chipsandcheese.com/2025/01/26/inside-sifives-p550-microarchitecture/

"The P550 is a 3-wide out-of-order core with a 13 stage pipeline. Out-of-order execution lets the core move past a stalled instruction to extract instruction level parallelism. It’s critical for achieving high performance because cache and memory latency can be significant limiters for modern CPUs."

RISC-V Vector Extension overview
 http://0x80.pl/notesen/2024-11-09-riscv-vector-extension.html

"The goal of this text is to provide an overview of RISC-V Vector extension (RVV), and compare — when applicable — with widespread SIMD vector instruction sets: SSE, AVX, AVX-512, ARM Neon and SVE.
[…]
The vector extension is quite a huge addition. It adds 302 instructions plus four highly configurable load & store operations."
