Lol, changing the country of origin doesn’t constitute innovation from a consumer standpoint…
Now if this was using 5nm or chiplit or any of the other buzzwords of the day it could be marketed as innovative in the modern sense of the word.
Realistically there is no innovation left for ARM platforms. They all use the same core schematics. They only control data flow and peripheral IP as a manufacturer, unless they feel like building their own core from the spec (nobody really does that anymore as ARM has been desperately trying to standardize everything). The most “innovation” I’ve seen has come from stubbornness around keeping legacy bus architecture around instead of adopting AXI (even when all the IP they are trying to use already uses AXI and they keep having to make translation hardware).
The most useful quote to those familiar with the linux boot process:
“An attacker would need to be able to coerce a system into booting from HTTP if it’s not already doing so, and either be in a position to run the HTTP server in question or MITM traffic to it,” Matthew Garrett, a security developer and one of the original shim authors, wrote in an online interview. “An attacker (physically present or who has already compromised root on the system) could use this to subvert secure boot (add a new boot entry to a server they control, compromise shim, execute arbitrary code).”
If an attack needs root then it doesn’t matter. Your box is toast anyway. If you’re using http boot without verification then you should have seen a MITM attack coming.
To be fair, Intel was ahead of TSMC in manufacturing processes size for a while there but they were measuring it differently from them. Hence the whole process size rebranding that unfortunately looked really shady without context. Now as far as throughput and yield… that’s going to take some work. Not sure what their yield has been as of late but I’m not convinced it’s nearly as competitive.
Was actually considering buying premium now that I use YouTube for music more than Spotify, but then the ad stuff happened and now this. Going to avoid it out of principle now.
