Now you got a big problem, because neither Intel, AMD, or Nvidia are going to license their intellectual property to Del

There is a relatively new movement in medicine, illness narratives, which is also the oldest movement in medicine. It boils down to listening to the patient’s story. Not simply as a way of gathering information and translating it into medical jargon and insurance codes, prescriptions and pills, but also as a way of allowing the patient to control their own narrative. That this narrative, generated by the patient with the doctor, is an essential part of healing. By listening to the body and telling its story (with the help of a physician who can add to that story with their expertise), we participate in what is an essential part of healing. Bodies need more than to be acted upon.

When I was in graduate school, I changed my PhD topic to autoimmune disorders because I was spending so much time researching them to figure out what was wrong with me. But the more I learned about autoimmune disorders (the useless treatments, the disregard of patients, the victim-blaming), the more I wondered why I was trying so hard to get diagnosed. Autoimmune disorders are, as a category, terribly misunderstood and maligned because our understanding of the immune system is not an understanding at all. We barely understand how it works, including the inflammatory process.

his accident as a KGB assassination that was done to prevent him from ‘leaking’ the secrets of Leonid Brezhnev. Another wild theory stated that the two men were so heavily drunk that they had lost control of the plane. Gagarin had become a heavy drinker in the years that followed his fame.

Some will say unified memory is not entirely new. It is true that different systems have had it in the past. But then the difference in memory requirements may not have been as large. Secondly what Nvidia calls Unified Memory is not really the same thing. In the Nvidea world Unified Memory simply means that there is software and hardware which takes care of automatically copying data back and forth between the separate CPU and GPU memory. Thus from a programmers perspective Apple and Nvidia Unified Memory may look the same, but it is not the same in a physical sense.

We are all filtering pain all day long. Which pain should I react to? Which pain do I ignore? Which pain will soon be too big for me to see and function around? This is potentially a life-or-death question we answer minute by minute. What if it’s a heart attack? A lethal situation (fire, poison, violence)? The pain organ reacts to each pain as if it were the same level of danger. The pain organ, like the thalamus or thyroid, takes what’s there and makes what it makes: pain.

Here we get a big problem with the Intel and AMD business model. Their business models are based on selling general-purpose CPUs, which people just slot onto a large PC motherboard. Thus computer-makers can simply buy motherboards, memory, CPUs, and graphics cards from different vendors and integrate them into one solution.

AMD Ryzen Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) which combines CPU and GPU (Radeon Vega) on one silicon chip. Does however not contain other co-processors, IO-controllers, or unified memory.

I feel like an expert now. As I stumble and zombie my way through the daily, I see others for the pain they’re in. The checker at the grocery, who keeps shifting her weight (she’s forced to stand the entire time), touching the small of her back, aggressively ignoring customers as she tries to make it to the end of her shift. The middle-aged woman who limps just a little, whose smile looks forced. The wince as she leans over to pick up a bottle of vodka, then the inevitable smile and joke as she tries to make light of the fact that she is buying alcohol too. The women who work at the laundry around the corner from us who take breaks on the wall outside to smoke and make cruel jokes about my fat dog before waddling on painful hips back to work.

How Mac’s used GPUs before unified memory. There was even an option of having graphics cards outside the computer using a Thunderbolt 3 cable. There is some speculation that this may still be possible in the future.

But we are quickly moving away from that world. In the new SoC world, you don’t assemble physical components from different vendors. Instead, you assemble IP (intellectual property) from different vendors. You buy the design for graphics cards, CPUs, modems, IO controllers, and other things from different vendors and use that to design an SoC in-house. Then you get a foundry to manufacture this.

For ARM, in contrast, this isn’t an issue. Computer makers such as Dell or HP could simply license ARM intellectual property and buy IP for other chips, to add whatever specialized hardware they think their SoC should have. Next, they ship the finished design over to a semiconductor foundry such as GlobalFoundries or TSMC, which manufactures chips for AMD and Apple today.

Yet there are important reasons why they cannot do this. An SoC is essentially a whole computer on a chip. That makes it a more natural fit for an actual computer-maker, such as HP and Dell. Let me clarify with a silly car analogy: If your business model is to build and sell car engines, it would be an unusual leap to begin manufacturing and selling whole cars.

AMD has also started putting stronger GPUs on some of their chips and moving gradually toward some form of SoC with the accelerated processing units (APU) which are basically CPU cores and GPU cores placed on the same silicon die.

We talk a lot about agency, but there is no agency in medicine. And if there is, it is always the property of the physicians who insist it is the property of the hospital and insurance companies, who insist it is the property of profit. There’s no personal agency in pain.

There is of course a tradeoff in this strategy. Getting this high bandwidth memory (big servings) require full integration which means you take away the opportunity from customers to upgrade their memory. But Apple seeks to minimize this problem by making the communication with the SSD disks so fast, that they essentially work like old fashion memory.
