Its october already where is Zen?

AMD already went bankrupt so they cancelled it

>>57039681

>upcoming Zen processors do not support TBM (Trailing Bit Manipulation)

why god why

>>57039744
what is that and why should we care

>>57039759
why should you care about anything Ayymd?

>>57039836
>we shouldn't care about x86 instruction sets

Shoo! Shoo! You unwashed jewish /v/irgin

:/

>>57039681
Zen is a meme

>>57039866
you arent explaining
does it mean Zen will be slower? less efficient?

>>57039744

I too wish to know.

I read wikipedias article about the instruction. It helps manipulate data smaller than a 'word'? So smaller than a register in cache?

>>57039899
Cache and registers are different things. Cache is basically a faster ram while registers are what the cpu actually uses to access data (very very very fast, very small)
Tbm offers instructions to do stuff that now has to be done with multiple different instructions (as far as I understand, I'm not that 'fluent' in instruction sets and what they are used for) yes this would make some things slower, and I suppose it's used quite a bit in high performance programming
