Nice one Intel. My next computer certainly will not contain an Intel CPU.

I wish someone would start making desktop motherboards with socketed RISC-V and ARM CPUs.

Why I chose AMD in 2019.

risc v wouldn't be worth much right now but snapdragon I could see getting socketed at some point.

That would be great for a server, but 1.7GHz is a bit slow for a desktop.

Up to 128 cores. Not meant for gaming, but it cranks at server tasks, compiling & coding tasks, etc.

There’s a windows dev kit (ARM) that I think is 3ghz: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-dev-kit-2023

But bleeding edge stuff from MS means likely driver issues, and this isn’t something you’ll throw a dedicated graphics card in.

Still, feels like the tide is changing away from Intel. I too was looking at “ARM for Desktop” options a couple weeks back.

I have a 96 core one. While it'll be fine as a desktop for compiling I'd stick with an AMD system.

The devkit has 6 memory channels, and you'll want to fill them all - there's a surprisingly high performance penalty if you don't. Even then, compiling a code base which could be spread over hundreds of cores is still significantly slower on the ampere compared to my old 3970x.

My first thought went to the Milk-V Pioneer since it has mATX form factor, but both products are priced way higher than your average desktop.

It's not like risc-v is any faster at the moment.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

not to mention its a dev kit. at this point not everything will run\be problem free.
