Kris BrandowHOST
So that's 58015.
Kris BrandowHOST
And this is a proposal to expose the AMD64 microarchitecture in the XSYS CPU package.
Kris BrandowHOST
So I think there's technically a way to get to this information right now, but this would actually give you a kind of a top level API that can give you the architecture level from zero to four, zero being not AMD 64 and then the other one through four being the actual four levels.
Kris BrandowHOST
If that type of low level thing is something you're interested in, this is a proposal to definitely keep an eye on.
Marc LaliberteHOST
They were doing it all on their local MacBook.
Marc LaliberteHOST
And by the morning, they had a working proof of concept on x86-64, so the other prominent architecture.
Corey NachreinerHOST
I think this is a good pause just to point out you and I are talking a lot about frontier models and the points that WatchGuard and us have joined things like trusted access for cyber, you probably will say it the right way.
Corey NachreinerHOST
While Opus 5 is public, I believe, this kind of shows you how big a deal a model that is a little bit better, and especially the ones that lack guardrails that people like us can do if we join these programs.
Ken McDonaldHOST
Now, in his second article, Saurav highlighted Bottles' latest development.
Ken McDonaldHOST
It is expanding beyond the X86-64 hardware.
Ken McDonaldHOST
Bottles 67.4 is a test release for ARM64 on Linux and is delivered through an experimental CPAC package.
Ken McDonaldHOST
According to Saurav, the quest, request to add ARM64 or AARCH64 builds was made just a week ago.

Rob CampbellHOST
More than 30 years later, Plummer has essentially come full circle by bringing his modern interpretation of a ta- of Task Manager to Linux and, and Windows and macOS, but we're, we're concerned with the Linux one here.
Rob CampbellHOST
TMOG Beta three is available for Linux as an AppImage, Debian package, or a compressed tarball.
Rob CampbellHOST
It currently supports X8664 systems and works under both X11 and Wayland.
Rob CampbellHOST
Uh, the Linux interface is written in C++ using Qt six, while, uh, Windows gets a native Win32 application, and macOS uses Swift and AppKit.
Simon RitterGUEST
Yeah.
Simon RitterGUEST
And in fact, that's another point because there's another JEP, which is JEP 541, and that's deprecating the Mac OS X64 port.
Simon RitterGUEST
Yeah, indeed.
Simon RitterGUEST
and so that is directly tied into what you're saying because you know apple don't make macbooks anymore with intel processors in them and they haven't done for quite a while now so the idea is that would you really want to have version 29 or 30 or 31 on a very old MacBook.
Kris BrandowHOST
So that's 78979.
Kris BrandowHOST
And this proposal is to enable SIMD by default for AMD64.
Kris BrandowHOST
So right now SIMD support is behind, I think, Go Experiment.
Kris BrandowHOST
So it's in the tool chain, but it's behind a flag.
AlanGUEST
Well, they are.
AlanGUEST
The X8664 architecture, yep.
Rony AbovitzHOST
It's, like, so overclocked, it's like a, it's like a little car with, like, a, you know, a V8, you know, 800 horsepower.
Rony AbovitzHOST
Like-
Brodie RobertsonHOST
I guess there is this.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
Somebody asked a question the other day about x86-64 v3.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
So, this is a relatively large topic in the FOSS world.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
Notably in the Linux world.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
So...
Brodie RobertsonHOST
It's not like an official designation, but there are different tiers of features in x86-64 CPUs.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
The baseline is V1.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
So the baseline is any of the features that were present in things like the Pentium 4, like the original x86-64 CPUs.
Jeff MassieHOST
Uh, now there was talk about making a change going to CentOS Stream, but that was not gonna work basically for the same reason Red Hat's not working.
Jeff MassieHOST
There's the, there's a problem in their industrial accelerator control computers, which is the march compiler flag, where it's set to x86-64-v2, and that's the compiler flag that's set as default.
Jeff MassieHOST
And this is from CERN, and maybe Red Hat's doing it as well, just saying it's...
Jeff MassieHOST
Using that flag is considered forced obsolescence for old hardware.

Jeff MassieHOST
And Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 cuts off another 17% of the boards.
Jeff MassieHOST
So all in all, 64% of their systems would need hardware replacement.
