New Lenovo Tower Computer
« on: June 09, 2025, 08:00:09 pm »


Blonde Guy recently shipped a brand new Lenovo M90t Gen 5 tower computer. It was a triple boot system, ArcaOS 5.1, Windows 11 and Debian Linux.

ArcaOS has progressed to the point of working with many new computers. Built-in video, sound, network, and USB all function under ArcaOS 5.1. The computer features M.2 NVMe drive support on the motherboard, tool-free installation of SATA hard drives and an assortment of PCIe slots.

The computer features 20 processing cores with hypertheading turned off.

Only problem with that is the intel processor.  If it had an AMD it would be interesting, except I build all my own computers (I have one that has ArcaOS and Linux Mint.

The computer features 20 processing cores with hypertheading turned off.

Should be noted that it is a mix of 8 P (performance) and 12 E (economy) cores, which makes testlog report,
Code: [Select]
----- Configuration Check ------------------------------------------------------
More CPUs (20) than cores (14) detected.
HyperThreading/SMT can cause problems for OS/2 systems.

It's interesting that our ancient simple scheduler seems to be OK with it.
Edit: fix typo

Hello Neil
Congrats on the new machine.

I think you have typo on your page.  The page says "Year introduced: 2018", but the model you have is from 2024.
