I've got an old #cisco #ASA 5512-x laying around that I figured might come in handy some day.

My brother recently sent me an article to a fellow who got #opnSense running on it, and of course I had to bite.

It was almost too easy! I tracked down an ancient VGA to IDC connector, installed it on the motherboard, and then changed the BIOS around to boot from a thumbdrive. OpnSense installed without issue, and BAM I have a 7-port gigabit router with a #xeon processor, 8GB of DDR3 and a 128GB SSD.

I haven't tested yet, but supposedly these bad boys can push *almost* full line speed.

Not too bad for free! It appears these can be had online for under $50 all day long.

Despite some goon sending this kinda pricey Ice Lake Xeon through international post, wrapped up in two thin layers of non/anti-static bubble wrap shoved into a Tyvek shipping bag (not a box!), it arrived yesterday and seems to be in decent shape after a trip from Australia to the middle of America.

So, what one does with a NOS (new old stock) bit of hardware which needs to be perfect in order to function, we inspect with macro photos and various image filtering methods to identify any potential flaws.

Update on In-Field-Scan adventures: Following my message, Intel has now published In-Field-Scan "scan tests" firmware images for Emerald Rapids (Xeon 5th gen), and updated the Linux kernel documentation accordingly.
Still missing are the images for already released CPU families Sierra Forrest and Granite Rapids (Xeon 6th gen). 4th gen Xeon (Sapphire Rapids) won't have a public release of the scan tests firmware images.

They can still do the Array Built-In Self Tests (BIST) which require no firmware at all to test L1/L2 caches, register files, and (SRAM?) data arrays.

#Intel doesn't plan to bring 3D #VCache-like tech to consumer CPUs for now — next-gen #ClearwaterForest #Xeon #CPU will feature "#LocalCache" in the base tile akin to AMD's 3D V-Cache
"We still have it (3D Stacked Cache) technologically. This means that next year there will be a CPU (Clearwater Forest) for the first time that has a cache tile, but not on desktop."

For the first time ever, #AMD outsells #Intel in the #datacenter
But both fall far behind sales of #Nvidia's #AI #GPU
While Intel's #Xeon #CPU still power the majority of servers, the most expensive machines now use AMD's #EPYC processors. This is why AMD's datacenter business unit now outsells Intel's datacenter and AI business group, as observed by SemiAnalysis.

The time when #INTEL dominated CPU performance are LONG gone.

First, raw data.

AMD EPYC 9755
128C/256T
12984 USD
amd.com/en/products/processors

INTEL XEON 6980p
128C/256T
17800 USD
ark.intel.com/content/www/us/e

Now ...

Recent comparison between 128C/256T offerings from both #AMD and #INTEL shows that #AMD CPU is 40% faster then #INTEL CPU.

Average power usage of both CPUs were VERY similar with 322W for #INTEL and 324W for #AMD.

Peak pwoer value is different and #AMD tops at 500W while #INTEL tops at 547W power.

But that is not end of #INTEL misery ... while #INTEL #XEON 6980p CPU costs $17800 - #AMD #EPYC 9755 CPU costs $12984.

That means that its price/performance ratio is multiplied by another 0.7 factor.

So TOTAL/REAL #AMD CPU price/performance ratio compared to the same #INTEL CPU is 70% better for #AMD.

#Intel, #AMD #CPU on #Linux impacted by newly disclosed #Spectre bypass
The #vulnerabilities impact Intel's 12th, 13th, and 14th chip generations for consumers and the 5th and 6th generation of #Xeon processors for servers, along with AMD's older Zen 1, Zen 1+, and Zen 2 processors. The attacks undermine the Indirect Branch Predictor Barrier (#IBPB) on #x86 processors, a core defense mechanism against #speculativeexecution attacks.

#Intel #Xeon 6980P "#GraniteRapids" #Linux #Benchmarks Review
The Xeon 6980P #CPU does manage to land well in front of the AMD EPYC 9684X flagship Genoa-X SKU overall along with the EPYC 9754 Bergamo processors. Generationally around 1.38x the performance with Granite Rapids compared to the prior Emerald Rapids with twice as many cores. AMD is about to launch the 5th Gen EPYC "Turin" it will be very interesting to see how those compete with #XEON6!

Se tem uma coisa que me deixa inconformado é a baixa otimização do software de atual. Eu sou uma pessoa que demora bastante para fazer upgrades. #Hardware custa caro. Muito caro. Eu simplesmente odeio a #Web regada a código #JavaScript cada vez mais pesado, rodando em navegadores que devoram toda a memória do equipamento. Saltei de um iPhone 6s para o 12 depois de quase 10 anos. Comprei meu #computador atual de sabe-se lá quantas mãos, uma workstation #Dell Precision com um processador #Xeon E5-1607 "cabeça quente" (lançado no ano de 2012), em 2017, por R$ 1.990, expandindo a memória RAM de 6 GB para incríveis 40 GB em 2017, por R$ 740. A workstation foi adquirida porque eu estava usando um #ThinkPad X200 também usado, com meros 4 GB de memória, comprado para quebrar o galho depois que meu primeiro desktop decente, um i7 adquirido lá nos idos de 2010, virou vinagre em outubro de 2016. O i7 já não era novo em 2016, mas o ThinkPad era jurássico, pois havia sido lançado em 2008. Quer dizer... o Xeon que eu ainda estou usando é pouca coisa mais nova do que aquele i7 que já não era novo quando fritou. Desde antes do i7, eu uso #openSUSE com #FVWM e mais ou menos as mesmas coisas.
