Intel and AMD forge an x86 ecosystem advisory group to ensure a unified x86 instruction set architecture moving forward, amid competition from Arm and RISC-V
including @Microsoft, @Dell, @Lenovo and @HP—are joining their new advisory group to “shape the future of x86 and foster developer innovation.” https://www.crn.com/... @CRN Mark Russinovich / @markrussinovich : I'm proud to represent Microsoft in this cross-industry initiative to evolve the x86 ecosystem: Tobias Mann / @tobias_writes : AMD's Forrest Norrod: “x86 is the de facto standard. It's a strong ecosystem, but it's one that really Intel and AMD have co-developed in a way, but an arm's length, and you know, that has caused some inefficiencies and some drift in portions of the ISA over time.” Carolina Milanesi / @caro_milanesi : If there was ever a sign that the new ARM-based computing world calls for a different approach to products and go to market #LenovoTechWorld [image] Raja Koduri / @rajaxg : Woke up in Taipei just past midnight, jet lagged, confused for a few seconds where I'm and then pick up the phone and see this as headline news, wondered what year I'm in and if I'm dreaming😀 Seriously would have been much happier if this was about rocm-oneapi, ual/afl...other pressing problems.. World is in good place with choices for cpu ISA and innovation there. Matthew Kimball / @mattkimball_mis : .@AMD and @intel partner to extend the x86 instruction set. That's right, these two industry rivals are working together to make it easier for developers to create for this architecture - and for consumers to realize these benefits. Why on earth would these two rivals work Patrick Moorhead / @patrickmoorhead : Pat G now on stage talking about the X86 collaboration with AMD and others. [image] Patrick Moorhead / @patrickmoorhead : I had the chance to talk to @AMD's @LisaSu and @Intel's @PGelsinger yesterday about this huge announcement on the extension of X86. It has support from the CEOs of Broadcom, Dell, Google Cloud, HP, HPE, Lenovo, Microsoft, Oracle, IBM's Red Hat, Tim Sweeney of Epic Games and Linus [image] Patrick Moorhead / @patrickmoorhead : We had quite the conversation with @LisaSu and @PGelsinger on their X86 ecosystem announcement. $AMD $INTC [image] @redhat : Hybrid cloud computing is the only path forward for IT innovation. Check out Red Hat's role in the X86 Ecosystem Advisory Group as we continue our mission to bring choice and compatibility to customers. https://www.intel.com/... @intel : The x86 ecosystem is strong - and getting stronger👏. Today's announcement of the x86 advisory group takes this industry collaboration to the next level for the benefit of the entire computing ecosystem and as a catalyst for product innovation. Carolina Milanesi / @caro_milanesi : “What we are trying to do is to accelerate compute going forward” says @LisaSu about the partnership with @intel adding that @Lenovo is a very unique partner cause like @AMD they believe in end to end AI #LenovoTechWorld [image] Tom Warren / @tomwarren : AMD and Intel are teaming up to keep x86 alive. The two chip makers have helped create a new x86 Advisory Group that's designed to defend against ARM https://www.theverge.com/... Tom Warren / @tomwarren : I suspect Intel and AMD aren't afraid of Qualcomm alone, but more about Nvidia readying an Arm laptop CPU (rumored for 2025) and others potentially entering the space @broadcom : As a founding member of the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group, we are excited to work with @Intel, @AMD, and others to drive new levels of x86 customization, compatibility and scalability. Learn more: https://www.intel.com/... [image] @intelbusiness : x86 is the bedrock of modern computing. Now, it's time to evolve the ecosystem 💻. @intel's and @AMD's formation of the x86 advisory group shows an industry commitment to openness, flexibility, scalability and enhanced software consistency across product offerings. [video] @delltech : We are excited to announce our participation as a founding member of the x86 ecosystem advisory group. Find out how we're shaping the future of #x86 architecture with @Intel and @AMD and others. ➡️ https://www.businesswire.com/ ... [video] Stephan Dörner / @doener_tech : In a rare public-facing display of cooperation between two of the industry's fiercest rivals, Intel and AMD jointly announced the formation of a new x86 advisory group to ensure a unified x86 instruction set architecture (ISA) moving forward: https://www.tomshardware.com/ ... Andreas Schilling / @aschilling : I never expected to read such a headline and a quote from @LisaSu on the Intel newsroom: “Intel and AMD Form x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group to Accelerate Innovation for Developers and Customers” https://www.intel.com/... [image] Anshel Sag / @anshelsag : .@Intel CEO @PGelsinger shows off the next generation Panther Lake based on Intel's 18A process node on stage with @Lenovo CEO YY at #TechWorld24 [image] @intelnews : Intel and @AMD are creating an x86 advisory group to evolve x86 with founding member ecosystem partners @Broadcom, @DellTech, @GoogleCloud, @HPE, @HP, @Lenovo, @Meta, @Microsoft, @Oracle, @RedHat, @Linus__Torvalds and @TimSweeneyEpic. Learn more. https://www.intel.com/... [video] Josh Walrath / @joshdwalrath : It has been 20 years since AMD released their first x86-64 processor to the market. It seems about the right time to extend it further. Tae Kim / @firstadopter : Nah, Arm is now more widely used than x86 [image] Anshel Sag / @anshelsag : Huge day today, @Intel and @AMD are working together to make x86 easier to use and have a large advisory group of partners including @linustor and @TimSweeneyEpic. @PatrickMoorhead has a great writeup on @Forbes speaking with @PGelsinger and @LisaSu about it I'll link below. [image] @thesixfivemedia : Chip competitors @AMD & @Intel just announced an unprecedented collaboration for a new x86 Ecosystem Advisory Board. Watch today's exclusive interview @DanielNewmanUV & @patrickmoorhead had w/ AMD CEO @LisaSu & Intel CEO @PGelsinger. Full analysis & coverage from @TheSixFiveMedia [video] Christian Klass / @christianklass : This is both surprising and amazing: @intel and @AMD joining forces with the industry to ensure the future of x86. How times have changed. Plus: They have Linus Torvalds and @TimSweeneyEpic als luminaries on their side. Thats epic for sure. :-) https://www.amd.com/... Bill Gurley / @bgurley : There is no competition quite as difficult to get your hands around as open-source competition. It certainly drives great outcomes for customers and consumers. Josh Walrath / @joshdwalrath : This really should have happened ages ago. Arm has been iterating their base architecture for their partners at a tremendous rate over the past 14 years. While Intel and AMD have been innovating designs, we have not seen the base ISA expanded as compared. @iancutress : Given some of the battles over the last 20yr, I was initially shocked when I heard @Intel and @AMD are going to collaborate *together* on the future of x86. Simply put, it's time to reduce friction for developers. This new x86 Advisory Group is important. https://www.youtube.com/... [image] Paul Alcorn / @paulyalcorn : I had an interesting discussion with leaders from @intel and @AMD today. https://www.tomshardware.com/ ... Ben Bajarin / @benbajarin : Good day for @PGelsinger to be talking up the x86 architecture advantage and @intel's announcement with @AMD to push the architecture forward. Summary points of why this partnership matters. •Gathering leaders to shape future of x86, simplify software development •Ensuring [image] Ben Bajarin / @benbajarin : In a fascinating move, @intel and @amd are working together, with numerous industry advisors, with the goal of furthering the x86 architecture. As I predicted, with @arm's rise in the datacenter, and client, we are in a fascinating battle of architectures again.
