Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux and Go, revealed that he upgraded to a machine with an AMD Ryzen processor Threadripper 3970X after 15 years of upgrades between Intel processors. This is probably his main machine from which he does pioneering work on the future of Linux and his other creations. His blog post "State of the Kernel”On May 24 reveals that its hardware update was the most exciting news to share with the community.
“In fact, the biggest thrill this week for me was the very fact that I upgraded my main machine and for the first time in about 15 years my desktop is not Intel based. No, I haven't switched to ARM yet, but I'm using an AMD Ryzen now Threadripper 3970X. My “allmodconfig” test builds are now three times faster than they used to be, which doesn't really matter right now during the lull, but I will definitely notice the update during the next merge window ”.
