Pirace is available from the third link in the first post.It's another of these GMKtec mini PCs. I got the N100 to replace my wife's aging desktop and this one to replace an older server. Two full size towers replaced with tiny, low power and more capable systems. It's nice to see X86 competitive in terms of bang for the buck. In my case the novelty of ARM has long since worn off.Was that a laptop or some sort of mini PC?pichart results for AMD Ryzen 7 8845HSCode:

Where do I find the pirace code?

I think x86 still offers quite a lot, especially if one wants to run a standard Linux distribution or experiment with weird things like GPUs, OpenCilk or the Hare programming language. Moreover, if the privilege escalation bug announced at the beginning of the year makes me too nauseous

I can easily boot one of the BSDs or Solaris and enjoy a different assortment of bugs.
Though a traditional mATX form factor, I'm quite happy how stable and quiet the Ryzen 5 4650G is that has served as my desktop for the last two years. Even so, it would be interesting to see where the Apple M3, Nvidia Grace and Graviton 4 processors place on Fido's pirate chart.
If anyone runs some tests, it would be great to know the four-core performance when using
$ taskset -c 0-3 ./pichart-openmp
as well as what happens when all cores are available.
I hope Raptor Computing will soon release the dual-socket S1 workstations based on the Power 10 instruction set that they announced last October--not that I could afford one, but maybe the dog developer could write a grant. For some reason I find the Power ISA amusing. On the other hand, it's also nice to have something like a Pi that just works.
