That could be a problem. If it's successful, people will associate the concept with Intel and assume that eoma is a cheap ripoff. Also, with Intel controlling it, you can bet x86 will dominate it.
Our response should be to publicly urge Intel to use an eoma standard, to ensure architecture agnosticism and that there isn't a conflict of interest.
I would expect them to laugh at you.
Why would they want to cripple their product by restricting themselves to the set of interfaces Luke has chosen.
?? peter!!
Intel operates under a totally different set of constraints from Luke. If Luke wants to make a successor to his compute cards he needs to find a new SoC that has the right set of interfaces. If Intel wants to make a successor to their compute cards they can ensure that one of their upcoming SoCs has the right set of interfaces.
which are, in your opinion, the "right set of interfaces"? serious question. if you're going to make such comments, you'd better be prepared to back them up and be prepared to justify them with a *REALLY* thorough analysis.
