First I've heard of these so I looked into it

It's basically a continuation of VIA's x86 tech (they sold the cyrix processors for a while if anyone remembers them). I assumed it was just copyright theft, but these are legitimately licensed x86 chips.

Apparently the current generation of these is like the Ryzen 3000 series, but I can't find any actual benchmarks, so I'll take that with a bit of salt. I doubt they will have the same power efficiency as the OP ones since the clock is apparently at 3.7GHz.

This is much cooler than I initially realised though. A viable 3rd player can keep competitor prices down so we would all benefit even if most of us aren't buying these chips

Gamers Nexus tried one a while back. It wasn't great but it ran.

The cyrix line of cpu was always far behind intel and amd. They ran super hot too. One time we wanted to see how much we could overclock one and it burned itself through the motherboard!

Offtopic, but I've seen an arcade monitor where a component (resistor, most likely) had burned a hole through the PCB and was gone... and the monitor was still operational!

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

This is somewhat common. I had that happen with a VRM power transistor on a graphics card. Wasn't very operational after it happened though.

[–] Fudoshin@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago

I think I had a Cyrix 233 at one point in the 90s. Can't believe we've got calculators that are faster than that now!

the current generation of these is like the Ryzen 3000 series

They are not like Ryzens, they are actual Ryzens made in collaboration with AMD. They have a few differences but its pretty much the same chip, same performance. I think they are still making these chips.

IIRC they still update their old VIA-based chips in parallel for embedded applications or something. Don't quote me on this one, it has been a while.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I thought the Chinese AMD chips were called Hygon or something like that?

In fact a quick google suggests these are two different CPU lines, but I might be getting it wrong

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Its been a long time since I read about it, I'm the one probably getting this wrong.

[–] Technus@lemmy.zip 51 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This post just gave me the most cursed idea ever.

Am x86 processor competitor but instead of implementing every single opcode it just has the common ones, and any unknown opcode it asks ChatGPT to write an equivalent C language implementation, JIT-compiles it and executes it.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Congratulations, you just reinvented basically the same thing (minus the "AI" buzzword) that Transmeta was doing a quarter-century ago.

[–] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.world 50 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

We are totally screwed because now they're going to put these in cheap laptops and peddle them to the elderly and the non-technically inclined who don't know any better. Then, us tech people have to deal with "why is my Windows 11 pentium 3 pc so goddamned slow"

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago

Don't buy a $200 laptop off temu and you should be good.

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 21 points 10 months ago

It's progress. Competition is always good.

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

That checks out

[–] sounddrill@linux.community 4 points 10 months ago

I have this wyse Cx0... runs kolibriOS now

It runs some via chip from the early 2000s despite being from 2011

I think this is similar or maybe a lil faster
