    ParkerVision Hits Intel With Another Patent Infringement Lawsuit

    Posted: 29 Jun 2020 01:27 PM PDT

    ParkerVision has filed a new class-action lawsuit against Intel for patent infringement — the third one to follow after similar lawsuits in February and May. According to the obtained court documents, defendant Intel has been directly infringing on patented technology for its "Intel Chips" that belong to plaintiff ParkerVision, or more specifically to its hundred-plus member family.

    Could we see an Arm-based Macbook Air "SE" soon?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2020 02:14 AM PDT

    Ever since I realized Apple would eventually move its Macbooks to Arm (many years ago, actually), I started thinking that cutting down on the Intel chip BOM (which tends to be 30%-40% of a laptop's BOM, or at least that was true a few years ago until AMD Ryzen came along), it should be possible for Apple to launch a $700 Arm-based Macbook Air, too.

    Steve Jobs may have never thought about something like this for the main reason that he would have wanted Macbooks (and iPhones) to remain "exclusive". But I think Tim Cook is much more market share oriented, proof being both the iPhone SE, but also all of the different variants of iPhones in general. More customization of products and segmentation tends to lead to more market share (although it also brings more supply chain complexity).

    A $700 Macbook Air, even an "SE" one (same Air from 2-3 years before), could drastically increase Macbook market share - like easily 3x within a few short years. So if Apple launches a Macbook Air with the A14 chip this year, they could launch the $700 SE version in 2022-2023.

    If they do save a lot on the BOM by cutting Intel out, it may even be possible to offer the Arm-based Air at $700 right away, but even launching the SE 2 years later would be fine, as it would already benefit from the launch hype of the "original" $1,000 Arm-based Air.

    What do you think?

    Question about CPU Caches?

    Posted: 29 Jun 2020 01:52 PM PDT

    Hello guys,

    There is something that is unclear to me about CPU caches. When will the CPU decide whether to cache a line in L2 and L3?

    I mean I understood that if we follow memory access patterns like contiguous allocation, the more likely the CPU will be able to understand the future accesses and to cache the whole line in L1. Yet, what about L2 and L3? If the CPU can predict for example that a huge array will be traversed, will it try to store a line first in L3, then a smaller one in L2 and then again a smaller one in L1?

    I'm really interested to get more info about when and how a CPU can decide which kind of cache to use to store some data.

    Does ARM Cortex-A55 being on ARMv8.2-A hold back big cores in any way?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2020 12:34 AM PDT

    So after Apple announced the x86->ARM transition I compared 64-bit ARM cores and one thing stood out. Most cores are on ARMv8.2-A, but Apple has updated their revision every year since 2016 and are now on 8.4 (so A14/A14X will probably be on 8.5). My question would be if there are any big advances with revisions after 8.2 and if it's possible to match a 8.2 A55 to, say, 8.5 A79?
