lmao at Intel e cores. it’s like, what if we gave you a massive power hungry chip but also ran your thread on a puny core so it takes longer

infernal machines posted:why don't they just make all the cores p cores p cores are much bigger. they think they can save power when an intelligent OS schedules light work on the e-cores. but they have to keep the L2 cache powered on. and the L3, the bus, the IO uncore area, PCIe links, DRAM bus, DDR, PCIe cards, … PC architecture is just not designed for power efficiency.

Intel is bad at supporting software. this may sound like a facile statement, but it is the core of their problem. Intel is a hardware company. they make some software, mostly drivers and related things. however they are run like a hardware company. their management don’t have the mentality for software development. their priorities aren’t aligned with those of getting quality software out. a gpu driver is a giant hairball of software. it touches some of the ugliest aspects of PC architecture: boot, graphics, virtualization. it has to do so on windows and linux. it implements very complex APIs (directx, vulken, OpenGL, some compute thing). it binds to on an enormous userspace support library, higher level APIs, shader compilers, … it’s a shitload of code. Intel is just not structured to produce this kind of software well, much less maintain it.
