#haswell — Public Fediverse posts

A small win for me tonight. I was able to convert my sister's decade-old #Haswell #Dell "gaming PC" from potential #ewaste into a box for playing #retrogame #emulators and #movies through the magic of #LinuxMint and #RetroArch. I had to swap out its broken RX 560 for a GT 1030 I had lying around but that was sufficient to play #tetris, #mariokart, and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine with my spouse. Hopefully with a little tweaking I can get #steam running so we can play Lego Star Wars together.

#Benchmarking The Experimental #Ubuntu #x86_64_v3 Build For Greater Performance On Modern #CPU
With x86-64-v3 basically being #Intel #Haswell and #AMD Excavator or newer (with some exceptions like select Atoms), it would be really interesting too if #Canonical would consider an x86-64-v4 option for modern systems with #AVX512 support. It'd be really interesting to see at least an experimental Ubuntu x86-64-v4 build to see what that could mean for #servers and #HPC

Division of 8bit nums in C is faster than a #DIV instruction on #Intel #Haswell #CPU

What are proper ways to downclock/undervolt #Haswell processors? Thinking about using an old PC, shove a couple of hard drives in it to create a NAS from it.

@matt it seems to be #IvyBridge and #Haswell machines (my work desktop is ~5 years old). Although the kernel caused the regression there seems to be some debate about it being #Xorg related: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=925555

Porting #coreboot to a #GIGABYTE #P34V2 board (#Haswell) progress report: It gets quite far already! :)

And we're getting even closer to #opensource #firmware <3
