They are not going to - even AMD's optimistic estimates talk about 40% improvement. This is way too little to close the performance gap. At best they can match top speed Intel CPUs from ~2011 (late Sandy Bridge).
Zen is (according to AMD, so I guess it is optimistic) is supposed to bring 40% improvement in instructions per clock. That would put it around Sandy Bridge level. They would have to pull off 100% improvement to be competitive at high levels once again.
It is not a problem of Spaniard moving to Germany. It is a problem of Romania going bankrupt in 2 years when having to pay CBI at the same level as Germany. Or paying it at vastly lower level which means that half of Romania moves to Germany since they will get more for sitting on their asses and average salary in Romania. Third way is for western countries to increase subsidies for east by huge amount and I don't think it is going to fly, especially not with upcoming referendum about UK exiting EU. The basic problem is that EU is very unequal economically and this is not going to change anytime soon.
So: immigrants move in, take the low-level jobs left by natives (who decide they are better off on UBS than being paid peanuts for flipping burgers), work 2 years (not a hardship since they are still paid several times more than at home) and finally move to UBS. That's not a solution, but a small delay.
The limited housing supply affects everybody equally - there is no priority list where all citizens from given country are assigned housing first and only then immigrants. So mass influx of immigrants would actually make life miserable for everybody. Take UK for example: housing situation is quite bad and still net immigration is huge.
I know that. But they are huge differences in average cost of living and salaries between western and eastern countries. How would you set the right level for UBS?
- make it high enough to live in 'expensive' countries - whole eastern part of EU goes bankrupt within 2 years
- make it low enough to avoid breaking the east - it is total joke for residents of western countries
- allow each country to set it independently - mass migration from east to west
No, I mean it is simply unworkable without putting in place restrictions I mentioned. There are too big differences between wealth of western and eastern countries. And since free movement of people is one of founding principles of EU - it can't happen.
This would first require ending of right to free movement (otherwise whole Eastern Europe would move to countries with ubs) and then really dealing with immigration to prevent whole Africa from moving to Europe.
In other words: no way.
It does - revoking access to source repository, banning from forum/mailing list. Easier than in professional world, since you can't get sued for wrongful termination.

You are more optimistic than AMD's marketing department? That's some impressive optimism.

The whole page of submissions from 'timothy'. What the hell?
" Slashdot Media no longer fits within the Company's core strategic initiatives"
Are you going to leverage synergies as well?
Hell, you can even use mingw/gcc if you want. I used it before for cross-platform Qt/C++ based applications before - worked just fine.
Windows makes you pay through the $$$ just to ADD a c/c++ compiler.
Visual Studio Community edition - free.
Mind closing. Linux FTW!
Yeah, your mind got closed all right.
How likely are you to die today?
"sitting on their asses and average salary in Romania" -> "sitting on their asses than average salary in Romania"

I don't think so - UK already got smacked down for trying to differentiate between their citizens and EU citizens when it comes to benefits.

They see you losing everything after another exchange hack, they laughin.
What? AMD can barely reach the lower-middle end now. The time when AMD was actually a viable alternative to Intel (around first Athlon) are long gone.
Do you mean various 'organic food' snake oil peddlers?
Ye gods! Put a trigger warning next time, will ya?
New form of 'war driving': some unremarkable car drives slowly down the street and suddenly all Teslas parked nearby wake up and drive off somewhere.
And codec2.org is also delivered via cloudflare - looks like they have some weird cache mess up.

Well, it is rare occasion when author actually has balls to come here and argue his case.
Sounds like a great example of specialisation. Let's leave them to it then.
