With USB-C this is a lot more likely, the main issue is going to be software support (Decent chance you could hack something up if one of the devices is running linux. No idea if anything exists for windows).
You would need a USB hub that could turn a USB device into two USB device ports, which I don't think exists. (hubs are essentially only a host-side thing).
Could you go into more detail - how is the half-bridge less capable? (I'm not familiar with ether device, but the ultimate solution seems like a sub-optimal solution to me?)
Essentially, it's a case of smaller device with less powerful CPU and less powerful routing offloads, but which happens to have a hardware offload for the specific use case that they needed offloading - PPPoE.
As the article itself mentions, hardware PPPoE is often present on lower shelf chips, but missing from higher end chips that in turn have more switching/routing capabilities.
Well, Mooress original statement coupled transistor density to cost. With the current RAM pricing, it looks to me like Moore's law is not only dead, but in fact reversed - the cost of a fixed density of DRAM cells double roughly every 12? Months.
RAM price booms & busts have been a thing since at least the early 1980's, when Andy Grove got Intel out of the memory manufacturing business - because he didn't like the financial aspects, nor the sort of big competitors who were establishing themselves there.
Well, they changed that rule as well. If the float is less than a set percentage, then it is weighted as a much higher percentage. Something like the minimum for weighting is 12% where SpaceX's float will be below 5% (those are the numbers I recall, but I don't have a lot of confidence in them.) That means they will be weighted as if the float was 12%.
Well, currently if you want to run the last version of Xilinx ISE 14.7* in Windows, Xilinx will have you download a linux VM to do so (14.7 was originally supported on Windows, but support was dropped after it broke).
On a side note: ISE was discontinued in 2013, but AMD only announced the acquisition in 2020, so I found it strange that those events appear to be linked in your comment?
*ISE is still required for any FPGAs older than 7 (like Virtex/Spartan 6).
That page compares models that easily fit inside the ram on either GPU. The biggest difference comes when one card can fit a model and the other cannot.
