| + | == Oracle's out the chip design business == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Over a week ago [https://twitter.com/WikiChip/status/903640505581494273 we've tweeted] the news that Oracle will be leaving the chip design business, at least for [[SPARC]]. Our source is someone in the know that we trust. Unfortunately Oracle has done this very quietly and without making any formal press statements. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This changed this week when on September 5th Oracle published an updated roadmap. The roadmap can be viewed here: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/servers/sparc/oracle-sparc/sparc-roadmap-slide-2076743.pdf | ||

| + | Take a note to the major change: | ||

| + | |||
| + | Their roadmap pretty much confirms they've dropped future SPARC development. --[[User:At32Hz|At32Hz]] ([[User talk:At32Hz|talk]]) 17:34, 9 September 2017 (EDT) | ||

| + | == Apple A11 Bionic == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Apple just announced their "{{apple|A11|A11 Bionic}}" processor which will be used in an iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. 6 cores (2 big, 4 little), 64-bit, 4.3B xtors. The event can be watched here: https://www.apple.com/apple-events/september-2017/. --[[User:Inject|Inject]] ([[User talk:Inject|talk]]) 18:45, 12 September 2017 (EDT) | ||

| + | :The two extra little cores is just for marketing. "Hey we have 70% more multi-thread performance". I guess all the Android octa/deca-core marketing bullshit managed to get the best of them. --[[User:At32Hz|At32Hz]] ([[User talk:At32Hz|talk]]) 21:57, 12 September 2017 (EDT) | ||
