    Does a processor ISA actually matter at all?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 11:55 AM PST

    I've been reading quite a bit on processors lately and this is one of the many questions where there seems to be contradicting answers to.

    I read somewhere that micro-architecture is all that matters in a processor design, and the ISA effect on performance and efficiency is more or less negligible, is that true?

    From what I've read it seems to be true, but it confuses me as I heard some ISAs are better for scientific stuff (mainly POWER and SPARC), how is that?

    My second question is about x86. Is it actually the "best" available ISA, or is it mostly commonly used mainly due to sunk-cost and backward compatibility?

    EUV reticle limit

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 02:14 AM PST

    Where can I find information on the maximum reticle size or limit of EUV processes?

    The maximum for i193 seems easy to find at around 815mm2.

    Why can't graphics cards be made to understand higher-level APIs?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 03:45 PM PST

    So my understanding so far is that the GPU communicates with the CPU using a proprietary (depending on the model) interface over PCIe, and the driver essentially translates OpenGL/D3D/Vulkan calls into what the GPU can understand. Why can't that part be done on the GPU? I'm imagining something where each (for instance) Vulkan function would map 1:1 to a certain series of bytes that can be sent over PCIe. That would add some complexity to the GPU, but it would make drivers much less of a hassle, especially with less-established manufacturers or operating systems.

    And specific APIs could be implemented in firmware, not hardware. So it's not like a GPU is permanently limited to APIs that existed when it came out.
