Chinese Academy of Sciences recently introduced “Qi Meng,” the world’s first fully automated AI-based processor chip design system. The system enables ...

In a tech war twist, China’s top science body launches an open-source AI system that can design chips faster than human ...

I knew the day when I’d find an Android tablet I’d be happy to switch my iPad for would come eventually, but I was still a ...

Microsoft finally found its answer to the MacBook Air last year with the 13.8-inch Surface Laptop (formerly known as 7th Edition). That Snapdragon X-powered laptop matched the MacBook in build quality ...

The Linux kernel is finally putting the 486 processor out of its misery ... Senior kernel bod Ingo Molnar backed the move, adding that ancient CPU support has created messy “hardware emulation ...

It's not. They're dropping support for both 486 and the 586 compatible CPUs including any CPU prior to Pentiium Pro. For practical purposes, that's anything before Pentium 2 chips since I don't ...

RIP, 486 processor. You've had a long run since Intel ... Moving forward, the minimum supported x86 CPU will now be the original Pentium (P5) or newer, requiring the presence of the Time Stamp ...

Kernel 6.15 is taking shape and it looks like it will eliminate support for Intel's 486 chip and its contemporaries ... which were essentially a 386SX with the extra CPU instructions from the 80486 ...

According to Molnar, most of the support for the old CPU is in the "math-emu" library. In total, i.e. for all parts of the kernel, 80 files would have to be changed if the 486 support were to be ...
