minus-squareToes♀linkfedilinkEnglish1•7 months agoI’m having a hard time finding a bullet point list of all it’s features. Some articles are telling me it’s a match for Haswell others are telling me it has AVX2. None of them seem that reliable. Do you happen to know?
minus-squareToes♀linkfedilinkEnglish1•7 months agoThe article explicitly says it supports x86. So I’m trying to understand to what extent?
minus-square@AuxlinkEnglish1•7 months agoAh ok. Well, I guess it’s just a slow emulation, but we won’t know for sure until someone runs some benchmarks.

It’s a MIPS CPU. There’s no point comparing it to x86.
