They make m.2 to SATA adapters that have like 10 SATA ports. A laptop motherboard in a case with one of those would be very interesting. I have plans for one but I need to buy some parts (keyboard and laptop fan).

Edit: the adapters run hot and are kind of fragile. I'd recommend having a thermal pad under it thermally coupling it to the motherboard and giving it some support.

Holy shit. I was planning on moving to Linux very soon but this is going to make that faster.

Or you can buy vcds if your VW is a bit older.

Yeah, it was an 860 Evo in an external SSD enclosure. It was like half the speeds of ntfs

Is it just my experience but exfat is so much slower on windows than ntfs.

Running a 32 bit os might net you better idle. I run 32 bit debian on an ancient laptop and my idle is a bit lower, 300-400 mb. I'm also using openbox.

Literally only CUDA. Rocm mostly works.

Had. I believe there is some HIP support but it's limited to rDNA cards.

What about the monolithic socs? Idle power on my 5825u is better than my i5-1135g7. My i7-8550u is in between.

They can't even do that anymore. sgx had a bunch of vulnerabilities and as a result, that service has been disabled.

How to use legacy OpenCL in amdgpu without using DKMS on Pop OS 22.04? (reddthat.com)

I have a pretty old laptop with an AMD dGPU and I am trying to do OpenCL compute on it to make sure that device switching is handled correctly in some stuff I am testing. All the instructions I see to install amdgpu drivers is to have --no-dkms as an install flag. Doing amdgpu-install --usecase=opencl --no-dkms --opencl=legacy results in ERROR: using '--no-dkms' with '--opencl=legacy' is not supported

Specs:

HP Pavilion 15-br158cl

CPU: i7-8550u (HD 620 iGPU and this has working compute)

GPU: Radeon 530 2 GB DDR3

RAM: 24 GB

OS: PopOS 22.04 6.12.10-76061203-generic

Clinfo -l output

Platform #0: Intel(R) OpenCL HD Graphics
 -- Device #0: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 [0x5917]
Platform #1: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing

As you can see, only the platform, not a second device. Is there anything that I am missing?

I did post this on reddit in the PopOS subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/1kvza44/is_there_a_way_to_use_amdgpudkms_without_bricking/
