minus-squareInFerNo@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoThank you Microsoft, forcing everyone to buy new CPUs just to be able to run their latest iteration of Windows.
minus-squareFlatfire@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoWat. This has nothing to do with Windows 11 system requirements.
minus-squareqaz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-22 months agoWindows required CPU’s to have certain extensions/instructions to use the newest version, which might have required buying a new CPU and thus getting one of the affected ones. However, I don’t think it’s reasonable to blame Microsoft for this.
minus-squaremsage@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoM$ is not the source of this problem, but they did force TPM 2.0 on their OS, forcing people to throw away older CPUs, so they made it much worse.
minus-squareqaz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoOh yeah, I forgot about TPM 2.0 and was just thinking about POPCNT etc.
