| UEFI Smartphones: The future, or a pointless dream? Posted: 01 Jun 2020 07:24 PM PDT This is a topic I've rarely seen come up in discussions about hardware, which surprises me. So here is my own take on this, and I'd be really be curious to hear your own thoughts on UEFI-based devices. You see, operating systems and low-level software have become increasingly interesting to me, and the firmware platform UEFI provides would make my job a lot easier, but also could have seriously revolutionized how we interact with technology, but so far only Microsoft and their close OEMs actually use it. Many of us are used to having a device that is either locked-down or is never anticipated to have the hardware customized, or the Operating System changed. But I've never been one to just use a personal computer as-is (and I'm sure many reading this may be similarly-minded). Customization is part of my craft, both in hardware and software. But with devices that are smaller and more difficult to do this with (particularly smartphones), is it worth pursuing alternative operating systems and hardware modularity? Could the user be given the opportunity to sideload or otherwise install a new OS, or upgrade the hardware on their own in more ways than just the internal storage on an SD card? In my opinion: Absolutely. UEFI firmware compliance, like USB, can only serve to improve the situation for the end user, as well as software developers and hardware manufacturers. I'm not for enforcing it, but as far as cost and adoption of new technologies go, standardizing UEFI in phones could cut costs and allow for flexibility for the consumer. I think that's the reason we don't have it. Now that smartphones required hardware to be redesigned from the ground-up, Apple seized the opportunity to make everything proprietary, and Google took the opposite approach and made things so destandardized, it is ridiculously hard to create a non-Android OS image that can be ported and used easily. This secures Android and iOS as the only choices OEMs and end users can use. UEFI fixes pretty much all of this. But at this point, it may be too late to change anything. Now that the only semi-mainstream phones compliant with UEFI have been discontinued in 2016, and have had Microsoft drop Windows 10 support for them as of 2020, I'm thinking that it may be only just a dream for hobbyists. I still see developers porting Linux to these older phones to this day. Maybe a startup will change all of this with UEFI-complaint smartphones with custom Linux-based OS, or maybe even a partnership with a Microsoft. But as of right now, that doesn't seem likely. What are your thoughts on the matter? Could UEFI hardware make a comeback for non-Windows or non-x86-based PCs and smartphones? If so, how do you envision it happening? Would you buy one, and what would you use it for? I'm curious [link] [comments] |

| When is an FPGA a better choice than an ASIC in a mass produced product? Posted: 01 Jun 2020 01:59 PM PDT Looking at teardowns of things like oscilloscopes, enterprise equipment, and even very high end cameras, a lot of them use an FPGA as part of their design. However, since these products are mass produced and since FPGAs are some of the most expensive integrated circuits you can buy, wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run to roll some ASICs or even use a suitable microprocessor? I can't imagine these devices are changing the internal designs of their chips very often or at all once released. At what point would you want to spring for an FPGA in your mass produced product as opposed to an ASIC or microprocessor, and what use case examples outside or development or prototyping would require one?

| 24C Ice Lake nearly matches the EPYC 7402P in leaked Geekbench, despite 2.5 GHz mean clock speed. Posted: 01 Jun 2020 12:57 PM PDT 24C Ice Lake scores 41962 multicore with a mean clock speed of 2.5 GHz and a max of 2.9 GHz: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15530478.gb4 The EPYC 7402P scores 42155 in windows multicore tests, with a mean and maximum clock of 3.3 GHz: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/14590007.gb4 Now if only Intel could create enough volume for a real product.

| Posted: 01 Jun 2020 10:46 AM PDT The last I've seen, the only viable big endian hardware was the IBM's POWER-series of desktop. now, I know big endian is basically dead, but on the off-chance, are there manufacturers that make modern BE hardware? Also, I know ARM chips can do big endian processing, but I have not seen any OSes or builds that can boot an ARM chip in big endian mode. Does anyone know if there is a BE OS for ARM boards?
