It seems that it is operating as designed, next time deliver the package with a chest full of drawers to be used like a DVD player in multiple compartments made by different vendors to increase its redundancy... Having just a one source of power is not a very good idea since it will not be redundant.... But experience will bring changes and start preparing for the next one!
I can't wait to see what it does playing with itself confined to its own cyberspace!... I'll make sure none of the programs I buy don't require a connection to the internet... I need a computer and an operating system to do the work I need and not wholesale spread of crumbs from my personal information....
If you don't like somebody else eating your cake, make your own web services or do without them... Peddling for services from other countries is the norm in Britain since there seems that the Brits just became paper pushers and unable to develop your own digital services or do without them on your Hawei to the stone age.....
Nobody can save Itanium now since HP got its hands on it, they don't play well with the Open Source community and they're locked in their proprietary world of Hewlett Packard and their HP-UX that nobody uses anymore, they never contribute nothing to open source but chip away at their work to stay alive and as Intel got them involved on Itanium, the open source community dissipated and their advance stopped like on a brick wall all of their own doing, they just didn't have the know how on the implementation of the long instruction set and the number of programmers available for it, so much for the EPIC instruction set...
The WLIW has long been Russian programing language that Intel was keen on implement to the Itanium, but in the end the Russians were pushed aside and copy the concept but made the mistake of introducing HP to help with the programing ( You guys remember the hated and praised HP calculators with reverse Polish notations RPN ) well, some people praise it and some people hate it, I'm myself hated it with a passion since it didn't make sense to me at all and in a collaborative programing environment you are bound to have a lot of folks having problems making sense of Polish notations algorithms and are bound to a collision course specially when they make a twist of modifying the programming to fit a new programing language version ( HP ) called " EPIC " and turned out to be an epic failure... Everything could have turn out right if they let the original programmers finish the job but they needed to make a new unique instruction set called " EPIC "..... The Russians can still salvage it if asked!.. They like this kind of stuff!....
Like always with Intel, just like the first Pentium was designed by the Russians ( Vladimir Pentkovski ) with a group of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Itanium was also designed by the Russian VLIW architecture in which the Russians are the masters of it and decided that they would make it a " proprietary " architecture with a twist and call it ( EPIC ) in which they moved aside the Russians and brought in a group from Hewlett Packard to deliver the new package, well it turns out they couldn't deliver the programming and the logic without the Russians and started to implode itself ( logic programming )( and internal speed bumps against itself ) to a messy slow processing!....... There are some people that could save it and advance it but current conditions are not ideal to seek their help, when everything fails go to the masters ( teachers ) to straighten your mess after all the Russians have at least 60 years playing with it!.....
Google is only a wannabe, just like it did with Samsung Exinos did little changes and is now is called google Tensor chip, or like Apple sees a buffet of chip cores from ARM which is owned by the Japanese and voila an Apple chip with Samsung, NVIDIA, Broadcom, Imagination technologies owned by China license their IP to Google and Apple so they can put together a new version of ARM and graphics chips.... They are simply paper tigers and the reazon they are expensive is because they have to pay licensing fees to every one including Huawei....
It is not unheard of, remember when SUN recruited a team from the Russian Academy of sciences to build the servers for the world wide web and designed the SPARK processors or when Vladimir Pentkovski was sent with a team from the Russian Academy of Sciences to teach Intel how to make processors starting with the Pentium = Pentkovsky, ... and teach them multitasking, multi-treading, out of order execution and many other modern processors tricks... The know how is all over the place and China will come out ahead regardless..... The Russians like parallel processing since 40 years ago and favor long instruction set programming and can do the same same job with half the processor speed, heat and node processes... There is a lot of advanced untapped processes in the world that are yet to show up....
It probably followed the AT&T " 5G " or the other 4.5G wannabees in the US, selling 3G as a 4G or 4G as a 5G... SK Telecom has not mastered the great BS game... It is either you have it or you don't... They have not finished deploying it throughout the country, but it is interesting to see that in some cities the download speed is 400 MBS vs the 50MBS for 4G... I just want to see all the websites in Korea delivering 10 MBS content to their superfast 5G costumers... The service side is lacking with the slow internet sites....
What?... What are you guys, the ambidextrous police, get a life!, tell it like it is and not delve into silly European feudalism created in the vacuum after the end of the Roman empire by the barbarians and repainted by the French revolution ( barbarians ).... The world is not what you think it is, it is only a figure of barbarian Europeanism..... The rest of the world doesn't care about your Left or Right!...
Graphics are coming to China thanks to the ex-Apple graphics IP PowerVR, spurn by Apple they found and into the hands of China to avoid bankruptcy and made a great partnership where they will deliver graphics processors and China will keep them busy for the next 20 years for various projects.... As to the Chinese been 4 generations behind, I don't think so since I can only find 10th and 11th generations CPU's in the market and barely started dripping slowly 12th generation CPU's in small numbers in products on the market...... As to Support in Linux, just remember that China can trow 10,000 programers to that end as soon they feel they are ready...
It seems like it but I need a desktop with a lot of USB3 and USB-C ports, double channel ram, plus a lot of room for my DVD players and old hard drives!... I like the new M2 drives but they get hot and want my room quiet and don't want to add fans, the HDD drives are fine with me in series so I can backup my database ( movies and photos mainly ).... What I realy like are the Intel Iris Xe graphics or Radeon iGPU, but not at 65W.... Limit them at 35W on a desktop motherboard processor and I'll be in heaven!...
I'm still using an AMD 6300 from 10 years ago, it works great and I have no reazon to change it anytime soon, I'm waiting for a 20-35W processor and graphics built inn for my desktop computer quiet and not necessarily fast around 3 Ghz will do, I have no patience or an apetite for a 300W noisy processor or giant cooling towers and much less water or liquids in it... I don't like $200.00 + graphic cards or their noise and much less a 1000W power supply... I'll be happy with anything, including a Chinese processor that meets that criteria....
