At the announcement of the Linux 5.7-rc7 kernel version, which is expected to arrive soon, Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux and Git, shared an interesting anecdote about himself. Torvalds uses Intel instead of Intel for the first time in many years on his personal computer. AMD Ryzen Threadripper He announced that he was switching to processor.
Linus Torvalds has long been known for his closeness to the Intel Portland open source team and has favored Intel processors in his systems for many years. The father of Linux announced that he does not use an Intel processor in his main computer for the first time in the last 15 years, providing another evidence that the company is behind its rival. Torvalds also stated his desire to use an ARM-powered desktop computer one day.
Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, gave up on Intel after years
Linux Torvalds during the Linux 5.7-rc7 announcement, "Actually the biggest excitement for me this week was upgrading my main machine and for the first time in about 15 years my desktop is not Intel based. No, I haven't switched to ARM yet, but now AMD Threadripper 3970X I use. Now my 'Allmodconfig' test builds are three times faster than before. "This change is not very important for now, but I will definitely feel the upgrade in my next kernel work." He included his statements.
AMD Threadripper 3970X and other 3900 series processors stand out as good options for kernel developers and users who frequently compile large code bases. Threadripper 3970X packs 32 cores and 64 threads with a 3.7GHz clock speed (capable of reaching 4.5 GHz under load) based on TSMC's 7nm FinFET manufacturing process.
AMD Threadripper processors are unrivaled in the number of cores and threads
Torvalds didn't mention the previous Intel processor but says the new AMD processor offers up to 3x higher performance. AMD Threadripper 3970X has more cores and threads than any of Intel's processors designed for PCs. Intel's advanced technology CoreX Even the series currently has 18 cores.
Linus Torvalds' Threadripper processor looks set to play an important role in the development of Linux 5.8, which is scheduled to arrive in early June. Thanks to the efficiency of its new processor, it will be able to detect errors and crashes in the kernel more quickly.
