Why don't /g/ start a free (as in libre) CPU company to battle Intel and AMD's dominance?
>>61780475
No capital, hardware engineers and marketing.
>>61780475
i'll do the logo
We need a logo and a mascot.
i want to sniff haruhi's butte
>>61780539
I'll be the mascot. I look like pic related.
>>61780475
>working for free
Good luck with that weeb.
>>61780557
>>61780539
>>61780513
Make sure that at least of them are a racist meme.
>>61780475
intel owns x86
>>61780566
He said free as in free beer, not without price.
>>61780566
Of course it won't be for free. People will donate moneys to support the free hardware movement.
Logo challenger appears
I'll be the ideas guy. I suggest we make a CPU that is twice as fast as the strongest Threadripper with 50W TDP for $500.
Don't forget to pay me for my idea.
>>61780702
i'll fork the idea
>>61780621
This. We need join the Open POWER group
>>61780550
>Not the manko
>>61780475
WAITâ„¢ FOR RISC-V
>>61780781
We should invite her
>>61780621
I could have sworn AMD invented x86
>>61780903
you're stupid
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8086
>>61780903
No that was x64
Generic version of Pentium 2 or SuperH is possible for free.
>>61780621
>>61780903
>>61780921
IBM invented x86
>>61780935
Free as in free beer?
Why do we need x84 when we can invent a non-corporate, liberty architecture?
>>61780921
>just x86 with expanded register sizes and memory buses
wow.
>>61780702
Im a far better ideas guy
Our CPU should actually be supercomputer grade, actually stronger, and be $3 so I can afford it
get to work team
>>61780942
Freedom. No valid patent after 20 years.
>>61780956
contemporary supercomputers dont utilize exceptionally powerful processors. their strength is in large arrays of computer clusters.
>>61780968
What if we make 32nm Pentium 2s and glue them together
>>61780475
Modernized 4GHz 68k please
>>61780475
>/g/ doing anything productive ever
>>61780986
XP revival boom?. It lacks SSE2 and NX bit, so not useful for recent Windows.
>>61781034
Linux would work fine, so Android would as well. If it was cheap enough, the chinks would be all over it for crappy Android TV boxes.
>>61780513
Well...?
>>61781034
putting windows on it kinda ruins the point of a free cpu anon
>>61780475
Why is Haruhi so perfect?
>>61780811
no thanks it would smell like fisshe
>>61780475
Actually, we could just use FPGAs and design CPUs using HDLs.
Someone start a GitHub and design the logo and also do the whole project while I go to big boy work because I'm a hardware engineer with too much other shit to do
>>61781052
>>61781237
Yeah. Any distro built for i686 like this would be fine.
https://osdn.net/projects/linuxbean/
>>61781309
That's gonna be fucking expensive
>>61781309
I'd do it. Anyone know anything about the Tomasulo algorithm?
>>61781343
Just needs to be open source, my boy. I was suggesting it for prototyping, but if we wanna be baller, let's get some fat FPGAs
Nobody said anything about price
>>61780917
so when does the patent expire?
>>61781406
until Intel stops renewing it.
>>61781406
It should be free within the last century.
>>61781450
Intel is going bankrupt soon so that's good news for us.
>>61781406
The x86 already did. The problem is patents for extensions to x86 which are necessary to run any modern code (no modern code will run on bare x86) are stil valid,
>>61780475
Haruhi was 20000000 years ago just kill me
>>61780986
Wait, wasn't that the idea of xeon phi?
Just wait for RISC-V.
>>61781634
/g/on Kike as Phi competitor when
>>61781656
>doesn't show anything
>not even face
Wtf, how am I supposed to fap to this.
Why reinvent the wheel (and certainly fuck it up) ?
openrisc.io
opencores.org
>>61781821
You're supposed to admire it, not fap to it.
>>61780557
U also gotta be a boy(female)
>>61782205
>Not fapping to everything you admire
/g/ proven to be gay once more
>>61781821
> fap for tits or face
noob.
>>61780475
>step 1 : get x86 license
>step 2 : i dont think you will get this far
>>61780702
I'll develop the logo for the idea
The idea's logo will be in Ruby on Rails and have C# bindings
>>61780475
Sure, show me the billions of dollar of investment it'll take to hire the scientists and engineers to create and produce the CPU, to market high performance CPUs to the desktop market and sell them at a competitive price to AMD or Intel after funding incentives for each major operating system and software developer to port their software to our architecture.
I propose RISC-V
>>61784459
All of that is completely unnecessary
>>61784621
Sure, having no processor while nobody knows the existence of us including the operating systems and software developers should turn out well for starting starting a CPU business.
>>61781656
Is this a doll or a girl?
>>61781656
>when you're not sure if a pic belongs in /soc/ or /buyfag/
>>61784696
she's gal.
check it out:

>>61780475
sure i'll design it, but it'll only run forth
>>61781252
Why wouldn't she be, she's literally god.
>>61780539
>>61780475
Why not just use ARM instead?
>>61784459
or start with cheap RISC-V in DIP packages for hobbyist
>>61780475
I want to fuck this cartoon.
>>61780475
God I wish that were me
Isn't this whole thread a repeat of the LEON processor?
>>61787681
God can be flawed Anon. After all, we exist.
Plus, I didn't fall for the "Haurhi is a God" meme. It's more likely that He gave her the ability to change reality, but not god-like powers.
>>61780475
Who is dhis ho? She has nicepuccy
>>61782380
felix is girl (male) tho
How do you choose a cool name for a platform/project/programming language/OS?
