> Fil-C running on any x86 box is faster than any CHERI implementation that has ever existed

There are a lot of x86 boxes out there. Is Fil-C really faster on all of them vs. CHERI on Morello?

Yeah

  • So CHERI makes a 2.5 GHz ARM CPU slower than an underpowered Atom? For what benchmarks?

    (Disclosure: I had a ~1GHz? atom mini-PC recently until it bricked. It could technically boot Windows 10 or Linux, but it was not fast.)

    Do you think that MTE will make an Apple M5 slower than an Atom as well?
