    This change is likened to expanding a CPU from a one-lane road to a multi-lane highway

    This analogy just pegged the bullshit meter so hard I almost died of eyeroll.

    Why is this bullshit upvoted?
    Already the first sentence, they change from the headline “without recoding” to “with further optimization”.
    Then the explanation “a companion chip that optimizes processing tasks in real-time”
    This is already done at compiler level and internally in any modern CPU for more than a decade.

    It might be possible to some degree for some specific forms of code, like maybe Java. But generally for the CPU this is bullshit, and the headline is decidedly dishonest.

    Haha okay

    Edit: after a skim and a quick Google, this basically looks like a packaging up of existing modern processor features (sorta AVX/SVE with a load of speculative execution thrown on top)

    I don’t care. Intel promised 5nm 10ghz single core processors by this point and I still want it out of principle
