>SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 15, 2024 – Intel Corporation (INTC) and AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the creation of an x86 ecosystem advisory group bringing together technology leaders to shape the future of the world’s most widely used computing architecture. x86 is uniquely positioned to meet customers’ emerging needs by delivering superior performance and seamless interoperability across hardware and software platforms. The group will focus on identifying new ways to expand the x86 ecosystem by enabling compatibility across platforms, simplifying software development, and providing developers with a platform to identify architectural needs and features to create innovative and scalable solutions for the future.
>For over four decades, x86 has served as the bedrock of modern computing, establishing itself as the preferred architecture in data centers and PCs worldwide. In today’s evolving landscape — characterized by dynamic AI workloads, custom chiplets, and advancements in 3D packaging and system architectures — the importance of a robust and expanding x86 ecosystem is more crucial than ever.
>“We are on the cusp of one of the most significant shifts in the x86 architecture and ecosystem in decades – with new levels of customization, compatibility and scalability needed to meet current and future customer needs,” said Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO. “We proudly stand together with AMD and the founding members of this advisory group, as we ignite the future of compute, and we deeply appreciate the support of so many industry leaders.”
>“Establishing the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group will ensure that the x86 architecture continues evolving as the compute platform of choice for both developers and customers,” said Lisa Su, AMD Chair and CEO. “We are excited to bring the industry together to provide direction on future architectural enhancements and extend the incredible success of x86 for decades to come.”
Seeing Tim Sweeney and Linus Torvalds side by side is crazy considering Tim’s comments on Linux

How is it surprising? They both develop for the x86 platform.
You know who is in the usb consortium? Apple, the same Apple that had to be forced to switch to USB C.

MSFT also contributes code to linux, for several years microsoft was one of the top contributors

Uh nope. Microsoft literally built an Azure Linux.

Linus Torvalds and Tim Sweeney are like two completely different worlds.

This is not all that strange, to be honest. Microsoft has a vested interest in Linux, as much as I despise what they have done with Windows. Even without that, this is an x86 event in which all these frenemies will be participating. Just looking at that main list, there are a lot of en-ethical companies that would love nothing more than to crush the others. It takes a personality like Linus to walk into that den and come back out alive.

It’s kinda surprising that it’s Tim Sweeney who is the one non enterprise player on this. Like you’d think it would be Valve instead but I guess they just want a person.

This is cool it’s like the Avengers of computers
