quote:

The TSX instructions built into Intel's Haswell CPU cores haven't become widely used by everyday software just yet, but they promise to make certain types of multithreaded applications run much faster than they can today. Some of the savviest software developers are likely building TSX-enabled software right about now.

Unfortunately, that work may have to come to a halt, thanks to a bug—or "errata," as Intel prefers to call them—in Haswell's TSX implementation that can cause critical software failures.

INTELLLLLL :argh:

lol at the "hacker" "news" comments:

I've been tempted recently by the Devil's Canyon repackaging of Haswell that for the first time has some of the workstation/server features (VT-d, TSX, but no ECC) enabled on an overclockable model. Losing TSX definitely cuts down on that temptation a bit, but they've still got the combination of full virtualization capabilities and much higher single-threaded performance than anything else out there.

yeah the first thing i do with my expensive server chip is to overclock the poo poo out of it!!!!!

what's the deal with intel loving up a bunch lately

like are they just too optimistic or is it quantum physics or do they really just not give a poo poo because they have no desktop competition

they're loving up because they've eliminated all the competition so now they have to compete against their toughest competitor ever: intel

Emergency confection port.

Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) is an extension to the x86 instruction set architecture that adds hardware transactional memory support, speeding up execution of multi-threaded software through lock elision.
