Linus Torvalds, Broadcom, Dell, HPE, and Lenovo on the list
The shape of the x86 instruction set architecture is evolving. On Tuesday, Intel and AMD announced the formation of an ecosystem advisory group intended to drive greater consistency between the brands' x86 implementations.
The introduction of advanced vector extensions is the most obvious example of where compatibility across Intel and AMD platforms hasn't always been guaranteed. "We'll have, not only will we have the benefits of performance, flexibility and compatibility across hardware, we'll have it across software, operating systems and a variety of services," Intel EVP of datacenter and AI group Justin Hotard told us.
For end users, the benefits are numerous as in theory taking advantage of either Intel or AMD's products will require less specialization, something we're sure the hyperscalers will appreciate. "I don't think we want to commit to 'we're going to support this or not support this' in a time frame. But I think the intent is we want to support things consistently," Hotard said.
