The economy isn't that bad. What's bad for the likes of AMD and Intel is the drop in corporate spending.
When the economy went bust all those firms stopped buying new stuff for a few months building up a demand. Then they realized things weren't that bad and they went shopping. That's why...
The management's the issue. When I read Read is hiring consultants that to me is the warning bell.
Management hires consults when they are out of ideas. And consultants are well.. if they are so great at running companies why the F aren't those guys doing it? Because they don't want to be...
Exactly. HMC is more like moving the PHY and controller out of the CPU or whatever ASIC that uses memory, multiplying it by a huge number and stacking it under the DRAM chip. What you get is a sudden jump in bandwidth by it's 3D nature allowing more parallelism. Also it's got a much better...
I hope some of these comments were jokes. That or there really needs to be an overhaul of the education system.
So many face palms. The orignal question to the suggestion that electrons spinning around inside atoms are another example of perpetual motion. LOL
You have a lot of ram in your desktop. There is more to usability than just CPU. It's likely your work laptop has less ram and a lot slower hard disk. In reality an i5 even the mobile chips can be bloody fast. Especially if one ditches windows and it tendency to slow over time.
For example I...
Do you guys go out and buy via processors in any large numbers? No. Why?
Read is saying "we can't afford to keep up with intel, so we will now try to sell you stuff that's slower cheaper and hope you guys buy in".
We just got a brazo laptop for someone as a gift and I have to say its pretty...
1) If leaks are to be believed intel has power head room to grow into for IB on 22nm. They'll lean on their process advantage you can bet your bottom dollar on that.
2) http://www.micron.com/innovations/hmc.html still a tech lab sort of deal right now, as everyone have talked about it but when...
That's TBD but it certainly was the big reason why Nvidia went balls to wall for ARM SoCs. As soon as they lost their x86 chipset business it was only a matter of time. Just as creative before them went from a major player in the computer market to maker of a niche product. They too can see the...
Because in the real world of limited resources not everyone buys a new computer every year. Each dollar you spend on something you don't necessarily need is a dollar you no longer have for something you might really need. So for a lot of people they might buy a high end card expecting to use it...
Exactly, and that's where the money is. Which is why nvidia while screwing up previous gen of their new top end didn't go belly up and die. Top end is a nice name spinner but just like Toyota survived for a long time without a really interesting sports car, nvidia as long as they pump out the...
You realize that most people don't want to pay for a full eyefinity rig right? You are talking a top of the line card plus 3 or more good monitors. OEMs, where AMD and Nvidia's bread and butter is, couldn't give a flying copulation to what can run eyefinity. People who buys eyefinity rigs are...
What I am saying is if Nvidia is in as dire straits as semiaccurate says Apple wouldn't pick them. Apple is difficult and as a result I don't expect them to pick a horse with a lame leg. It's likely they would have done due diligence on finding out what's exactly what at Nvidia and AMD before...
