Why don't you use a Pentium Pro? It's immune to meltdown.
Why don't you use a Pentium Pro? It's immune to meltdown
Too slow
So you use insecure processors with speedholes shot into them because muh speed?
because any processor is 'immune' to meltdown if you deny it internet access
Too big
Because I have an aarch64 laptop that doesn't require binary blob firmware
>not using based itanium
>immune to meltdown
Like every other P6-derived CPU it is vulnerable. As the first microprocessor with that architecture, the Pentium Pro has dubious distinction of being the first CPU vulnerable to Meltdown.
Because I use RYZEN.
post-P6 = meltdown
pre-P6 = F00F
pentium was a mistake
pentium pro still uses NSA micro-code
I prefer RISC.
>AMD
Yes
>itanium
Hey, why are you avoiding Meltdown? Do you have something to hide? Don't make me contact the FBI, user...
you forgot the ™
Not using Elbrus the guy who designed your Pentium originally
Move over, boys
I wonder how vulnerable AMD's K5 is, i mean it's technically a RISC processor...
>he disregards things because he has loyalty to some corporation
Rofling @ ur life rn
What CPU vendor do you suggest we purchase from, user?
Because I use a sun box with true Unix.
Sparc is open right?
Codasip
K6-2 nigga.
atmel
It also can't play 200mb xvid file
2.2 volt core
Those were the days.
Also have a 2.4v 450 one. (which I suspect is just a recycled K6-III)
K6-2 was slower than P2, right?
They were roughly even in integer performance, but K6s were slower than Intel chips at floating point, which games often cared about. (Little to nothing at the time made any use of either MMX or 3DNow)
intel's FPU wasn't that impressive either, lots of hacks to get around garbage float math have unfortunately been lost to time.

Move aside.
>>x86lets think they are hot shit
No idea why there's so much x86 shit in this thread.
>that 18 year old zoomer who had never had a computer that was immune to meltdown
Not running Linus' own chip.
So you use EXTREMELY slow and outdated hardware because you want to seem cool and different despite nothing modern being able to run on it? (I'm not talking about games before you say that)
Pentium Pro are vulnerable what the fuck kind of shill thread is this
A lot of these options aren't even that slow, clock speeds have been throttled since early 2000s. Netbook & phone style low-power processors have been catching up in speed so alternate architectures aren't that far behind.
>immune to meltdown
It actually isn't. Now pic related...
>Not using Elbrus the guy who designed your Pentium originally
Well, Pentium was not the pinnacle of design. Pentium Pro (P6) was what has shown Intel is not a toy CPU company.
It's as much RISC as P6, that doesn't matter, really.
After all, Power9 and some ARMs suffer from Meltdown.
Northdale has tons of bugs, please get back to fixing those instead of posting screenfetches.
Original generation Atom processors are immune too.
Use one of them.
It had rather good integer performance, it was at least competetive in most application software thanks to that.
FPU was relativelly weak compared to P-II but it had floating point SIMD in K6-2 and later, which arguably would be more important in the future.
Sparcs are nice as any exotic hardware, but they were niche, expensive and as such irrelevant for most of people and thus for the future. x86 might get hate and hip bashing, but it was what enabled computers and technology for all of us.
Respect where it's due.
Cheers there, I would almost forgot.

Are you slow?
There's a lot more to processing speed than just "muh clock speed." If it were based on that alone, my Dell Optiplex tower from 2003 should blow my Raspberry Pi apart, what with its 3GHz CPU and all, but it gets shat on by the Pi.
Get educated.
Just replace them with polymers. Computer for the next fifty years.

Wrong, it's the first intel cpu that has the issue.
Ssshhhh... On the Internet nobody knows I'm an autistic RISCfag
< 300mhz processors can run nothing made in the last 20 years.
Anyone else PowerPC here ?
just got linux running on a 54 pwerbook. Am i safe ?
>K5
Such a big failure that AMD had to buy nexgen for their K6 design
>complains about anime on an anime website
Well shit, I just turned off my MDD.
Also no, you're not. All G4s after the 7400 and all G5s are vulnerable to Spectre. But the code needs to have very specific optimizations to work.

Techloli/g/y died in like 2010
I miss mine now thanks user
Hola
>not running OpenBSD on your Powerbook
Nope, reinstall and choose the puffer this time.
The same reason you don't use an abacus.
Mah nigga
I've been meaning to get an abacus so I can do this
youtube.com
would you rather use a processor that can't even generate PGP keys in a week or less
you literally don't even know what RISC is
are you the dual 450 nigger or is that a dual 500
pls be the latter
Tfw can't get a 600 to work in my Blade 150
MemoryX even sent me a second one for free with no questions asked and I think the board must be fucked or something
>bought an SGI O2 as a present for my 18th birthday
>now I'm 22 and still haven't gotten around to getting it running due to SCSI termination (possibly) and lack of a sync on green monitor
It was a dual 450, but I had it clocked at 500 with no issue for years. However, I upgraded it with a single 933 (clocked at 960 now) out of a Quicksilver.
>XVR-600
>In a Blade 150
Wew, that's quite the bottleneck there.
Have you tried updating OBP? Or see if you can get a console up on the onboard framebuffer or a serial port and try doing a reconfiguration boot (if you're using Solaris, that is)
I actually wanted one of the shittier XVR-100/500s but the 600 was cheaper than either of them and listed as compatible, it'll actually run but any attempt to boot Solaris would result in a kernel panic if I recall correctly, it's been such a long time. I think OBP was updated too, I remember checking it when I was sending MemoryX all of the things I had tried.
I was going to try seeing if I could fuck around and get it running in a Blade 100 despite it not being officially supported but I gave up on it after I started picking up other Solaris hardware and some IRIX/HP-UX stuff that was faster and didn't feel as gimped.
