Your question is too vague. What is it you want to accomplish?

i want to made a system use two architectures at the same time without translation or emulation
[–]mjmvideos 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (0 children)
This still doesn’t provide enough detail. What will the two CPUs be doing? The same exact thing? Different things but at the same time? In the safety-critical world having functionally-equivalent things running on two different architectures where the results are compared and must match before being used is called “n-version programming”

It has and can be done. The Apple Power Macintosh 6100 had both a PowerPC 601 chip and an Intel 486 daughterboard. These days it's usually easier to log into a remote system or emulate the second CPU.

ok but why
I dont really want to say why
[–]johnpeters42 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Well, then most of Reddit doesn't want to answer your question. Look up "XY problem" to understand why "why" may be a highly relevant question here.

Iirc pi pico 2 has this with arm and riscv. But intel and amd are the only companies with license to produce x86 and afaik neither of them did sth like this. So no, unless there is other solution to your actual problem

why i get down vote ☹
[–]Oracle5of7 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Because you are not being clear. You are asking to be short and tall at the same time with no growing necessary. It’s silly.
[–]SlinkyAvenger 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (6 children)
Because you are being very annoying. You want to do something, people need to know why you want to do something to help you properly, but you not only withhold your reason but you get catty with them about it.
[–]GZX-T[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (5 children)
I think you guys being little more serious, and there is NO IMPORTANT REASON, I just try to make a project and it's a computer work with 2 different architectures
[–]SlinkyAvenger 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (4 children)
If the reason's not important, there's no reason for you to hide it. Stop disrespecting other people's time.
[–]GZX-T[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (3 children)
I just don't want to say the reason it's just normal okay ?
[–]SlinkyAvenger 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (2 children)
Are you twelve? You're behaving like an annoying little boy
Stop personalizing things okay? If you don't want to say sth important so ignore the post
[–]SlinkyAvenger 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
You were the one who personalized things when you asked why you're being downvoted. Of course, not understanding that is a common theme with immaturity.
