I think this is the new 'normal'. Everyone should get used to it.
For sure we might have some quarters which are not as bad as this one owing to business and governments replacing their very old systems, but otherwise a constant -if unsteady- sales decline is the future of both notebook and...
I think that is more to do with very high queue depths used in these type of benchmark than any realistic workloads. I can see the value of high queue depth benchmarking for random read/write performance, but for sequential performance it is blatantly used as a tool for marketing by all...
But who on Earth will buy Global Flounderings?
This is one of those companies that is unsellable, anyone who buys it at this stage of the semiconductor game runs the risk of bankruptcy. I laugh at the $15 billion estimate.
Only possible buyer might be Chinese government (via proxy, indirect...
What are the expected capacities for the new 850 series drives, the ones with 48-layer 256 Gbit die? Will it double the capacities over current generation?
Toshiba made that bold claim about >100TB drives in 2017. Or was it 2018? Anyway, I wonder how realisitic those claims are considering the...
Some amazing performance leaps in this thread.
I once went from a Pentium III (Coppermine, anyone remember?) to Sandy Bridge i3-2100. Being senile I cannot recall the exact MHz of that olde Coppermine P3, but IIRC it was a very weak processor. Around 533 MHz or so, if not lower.
So I used...
I got the same impression by following Brian Krzanich's keynote at IDF. Reeked of a foul mixture of desperation and aimlessness. Came off rather cheap, even by the low "CEO-presentation" standard one must apply to such events.
These would make terrific boot drives and database drives. For affordable bulk storage (10-20 TB) Samsung and Toshiba's future V-nand products should suffice.
Funny how 3D-XPoint will do to SSD what SSDs did to HDDs. Although for more 'consumer' workloads the added performance benefit of...
We have not seen any benchmarks about those mythical 35 watt and 65 watt processors yet. But from what we have seen, I am not hopeful.
The PR narrative is that Intel is now focused on improving performance/watt, and that's where we are seeing great progress.
Except we aren't. If you look...
Don't know what is more disappointing: Skylake, or Anandtech's "review".
I expected this website's quality to fall after Shimpi sold out, just not this sharply. I would go in detail about all that can be improved, but why bother. Would be an utter waste of my time. Besides you can always go...
