Quoting: ShabbyXLinux has been doing this for years for big.LITTLE, asymmetric multiprocessing is nothing new for Linux.

Then they can plug into it, but they can have their own specifics. It also can be related to different polices of power saving.

"The performance hybrid architecture of 12th Gen Intel Core processors is an architectural shift made possible by close co-engineering of software and hardware that will deliver new levels of leadership performance for generations,"

Glad to know my great grand children will see the new levels of leadership performance. I've always wanted high performing leadership.

lol :grin:

I think by "performance hybrid architecture" he means those less and more powerful cores in the same processor.

And "close co-engineering of software and hardware" is a veiled way to say that the burden will fall on operating systems to make schedulers that will have to leverage those cores in some optimal way, otherwise your performance will suffer (that's the "software" part).

Basically, don't rush to buy it, until someone (Intel I assume?) will add such scheduler for Linux (if you are even considering it). In general Intel are good at doing it though so it should appear at some point.

DDR5 would probably benefit AMD more.

What's the pricing for this one? Would be interesting to see benchmarks, but I'm sticking to AMD. They so far decided not to use this cores disparity approach and rather focus on improving all cores as a whole.

Making such mixed cores also will put more burden on OS schedulers to use them in some balanced ways.

Quoting: BielFPsFor those people thinking about using the wayland session on kde, you can use the command qdbus org.kde.KWin /Kwin org.kde.KWin.showDebugConsole 

That didn't work for me. But I simply open Krunner (Alt+F2) and type in KWin and it offers to open that console from there.

UPDATE:

Looks like you had a typo. This one works from the terminal (/KWin is case sensitive there).

qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.showDebugConsole

I played with Wayland session in 5.23.1, but adaptive sync has some weird problem. Digging into it for a bug report.

Yeah, in short switching to PE means shipping shared libraries as .dll, not as .so by Wine.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI don't see that happening at all. There is a better chance of customers installing Windows on the Steam Deck than that happening. Proton has shown that it will only lower the amount of native Linux titles being made not increase it.

Chances of customers installing any OS on Steam Deck? Pretty low and not likely to ever be high - it's same with installing an OS anywhere really.

Chances of developers releasing something for Linux becasue of Steam Deck? Depends on the marketing I guess, but they can get pretty good and way higher than the above for sure.

Where do you actually see these icons when you open a game listing on Steam's site? I don't really notice any.

Quoting: Alm888So… In other words, Valve acknowledges that their "all your library should work" and "no porting required" promises are not feasible.

I don't think it was ever meant as anything more than a marketing bait. A good one for our cause, but did you ever take it literally? To put it in more realistic terms, replace "all" with "many".
