> It is noted to be a variant of the AMD EPYC, and is so similar that "there is little to no differentiation between the chips". It has been noted that there is "less than 200 lines of new kernel code" for Linux kernel support, and that the Dhyana is "mostly a re-branded Zen CPU for the Chinese server market".
It's not just a re-brand as in "AMD is now making whitelabel CPUs". AMD gave the IP away for the short-sighted amount of $300 million, so now the Chinese can build their own Zen-class CPUs and create new variations of it.
And people wonder "how the Chinese have caught up so quickly?!". The western companies mostly gave away their entire IP for peanuts or some empty promises of "gaining access to the huge Chinese market", which never materialized because China made sure the local companies would always win. This, in combination with China's own theft of IP, is how they did it.

Not arguing with the theft argument but there is also the untalked benefit of cheap (may even be called inhumane) labor in the trade between west and China.

As someone who uses QEMU as a cornerstone in my daily development work, I’m stoked to see the project pushing forward and putting out new releases. Right on :)
The HN-new-post bots only upvote trendy blogs, with ads.
Changelogs and press releases are too complex for them.
Or maybe they don't get paid for them.
I would love to be proven wrong.
At least Phoronix knows the audience. This would have been several more paragraphs of filler on other tech blogs regularly linked here.

Rust release announcements? And why does it matter? They linked to the change log in the post

I can't reply to the dead comment you replied to, so leaving this here -- Phoronix is a useful part of the community but they're way overboard on ads. Most of the time when I browse without adblock, it's not a problem until I come across Phoronix, which is totally unusable without adblock and always inspires an immediate install. I understand that Michael needs to make a living, but Phoronix is way overboard. It's definitely understandable to redirect the link to the official changelog.

We currently boot into QEMU by default for testing and debugging :)
