Intel Officially Introduces Pay-As-You-Go Chip Licensing

TL;DR

The list of technologies that Intel wants to make available on demand includes Software Guard Extensions, Dynamic Load Balancer (DLB), Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA), Intel In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (IAA), Intel In-Memory Analytics Accelerator, and Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) to accelerate specific workloads.We know that companies like H3C, HPE, Inspur, Lenovo, Supermicro, PhoenixNAP, and Variscale will be a part of the On Demand program.Still, keeping in mind that the server world behaves differently than the client PC world and that we do not know the terms of Intel's On Demand, we would not draw parallels here until we know all the details.This behavior becomes a lot more problematic when they're disabling core parts of the CPU as they did in the past with "unlockable" desktop parts.https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00029675enwThe rest of you jackwagons "oh Intel is going to take away your CPU cores" don't have a clue what you're talking about."
