That post blames Intel, but it's not just them. NaCl forcibly crashed (and Google refused our trivial fix!!!), random drivers wouldn't work, you had to get a patched Windows installer for multiple releases of Windows (difficult in the days of CD installers), etc.

The Google Chromium team banning our CPUs is especially ironic in retrospect since they cited security concerns. At the time, we were mostly shipping in-order CPUs, not vulnerable to Metldown/Spectre/etc. and of course Intel is the most vulnerable these.https://twitter.com/danluu/status/779746231287328768 …

BTW, if you want to try CPUID spoofing without virtualization and have a VIA processor, Agner Fog wrote this little utility: https://www.agner.org/optimize/blog/read.php?i=118#73 … Performance delta on benchmarks varies, here's an example of a ~50% gain (47%): https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2008/07/atom-nano-review/6/ …pic.twitter.com/gLK1cESeRz

It would not be a copyright violation. There was a precedent about 35 years ago from TI suing a manufacturer of cartridges for their 99/4a computers, which would only work if a special string was in the ROM. TI lost, because the string was functional and not creative.

Huh do you have a reference to that ? I had initially thought of the Sega case, where Sega checked for the string 'sega' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_v._Accolade … (appeals court overturned the copyright/trademark violation judgement)

@amd really should help itself by helping the@anacondainc group to take advantage of AMD CPUs. I recently made a purchasing decision to Intel and the major factor was Python/bumpy/MKL which is most of my work.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

What is that CPU startup? Are there many of those?

What about Sega v. Accolade? (probably safer to let the user change it anyway, but this seems like a similar kind of thing - I'm not a lawyer though)
