Quick shoutout to Fooyin (https://github.com/fooyin/fooyin) which is a customizeable and very performant music player. Built on QtWidgets, so it's very snappy and themeable.


From what I know it still exists further out of the city. I have a friend who picked up quite large amount of scientific equipment. Might be a similar store with a different name though.


If you can GPU passthrough (it's quite simple to set up), this is not a large issue. You're right that Linux is sorely lacking in native creative software though!


These displays in the glasses are significantly smaller than even your Apple Watch though (0.58" or so I believe). Essentially the displays they're using are the same ones found in DSLR viewfinders. There should be higher resolution options, but I suspect the resolution limiter is the optics not the pixel size (just a suspicion).


Absolutely a lomg way to go.

Interestingly, the chip is rated to run at DDR4-3200 or DDR5, so it's strange C&C got half that.

The power issues are likely from by modern standards pre-historical clocking behavior (single P-state to my understanding)!


It does clock ramp from 800 MHz idle to 3.2 GHz under load, with 900, 1000, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1800, 2200, and 2700 MHz steps in between until it hits 3.2 GHz after 71.6 ms. Article was getting long enough so I just left it at, it reaches 3.2 GHz and stays there even though the spec sheet says it should go higher.

I remoted into the system for testing (Cheese/George had it), and he said it took 3-4 cold reboots for it to come up, and suspected memory wasn't training correctly. So I did all the testing without ever rebooting the system, because it might not come back up if I tried.


Tangential but thank you for always providing such detailed benchmarks and insights. Your work is a treasure!


Low power RISC cores (both ARM and RISC-V) are typically in-order actually!

But any core I can think of as 'high-performance' is OOO.


MIPS as well as Alpha AFAIR. And technically itanium, otoh It seems to me a bit like a niche for any performance advantages...


I would not call neither MIPS, Alpha nor Itanium "high-performance" in 2025...


Alpha was out of order starting with EV7, but most importantly the entire architecture was designed with eye for both pipeline hazards and out of order execution, unlike VAX that it replaced which made it pretty much impossible


Alpha 21264 is out-of-order.


I saw a video recently advocating for this exact use case of said PC. That would make it truly pocketable.

It is in Chinese however!

I feel like this kind of product review video is somewhat comprehensible even if you don't speak the language - product reviews area good source of input for language learners!


It's not easy to leave a tenured position you worked half your life to get to I suppose...


From what I understand the PRC tries pretty hard to provide a lot of incentives to academic returnees. I do wonder if they have a tenure match program, where if you have tenure at an American university of a given calibre you are automatically granted tenure at a Chinese university of a similar calibre if you return to China. They probably should.


If that's true, then that seems to be the simplest explanation for what happened here? (Honestly asking.)


Oh, no. I'm not talking about alleged espionage, I'm talking about people moving universities. Moving university doesn't mean disappearing off the face of the Earth.


It is extremely bad form to leave your students stranded and move to another university with no communication. It also wouldn't warrant FBI action; plenty of people have moved back to their home countries from academic positions in the US.


Really in-depth and great article!

As with some other commentors, I was surprised to not see a lot of dishes that I thought were staples, and quite a few were under different names.

Nonetheless, really amazing---and made me quite hungry at well-past midnight!


Was really surprised to see this!

Especially a vector-instruction compatible AND out-of-order processor. Does anyone have any idea exactly what chip it uses?

Edit: TomsHardware guesses that it is a EsWin EIC7702X!


It's does not! RVV support is only on the DSP (I asked them), and I'm personally not sure even that is true, as the EsWin EIC7700X DSP has a cadance XTensa chip.


Heh, I just came from Reddit where I saw your post, and was about to update my comment.

Yeah, it seemed strange since to my knowledge no out-of-order vector RISC-V chip exists at the moment.

Interesting, hopefully DC can fix their advertising/clarify a bit more!
