    [IT World] Intel cancels Broadwell-C **Article corrected to say it meant Skylake-C**

    http://www.itworld.com/article/2984695/hardware/intel-kills-a-top-of-the-line-processor.html IMO, one of the effects of lack of competition. When a company competes with only itself it has a lot more leeway to do things like this.

    Anyone able to explain why AMD didn't reveal more about the R9-290X?

    They said the BF4 special edition GPU will be pre-orderable a week from now, so why so little actual information? Do they expect people to pre-order it without any more concrete details regarding it's specs? Or is this some bizarre idea marketing came up with to add "suspense and anticipation"...

    Should AMD have focused on a Steamroller high TDP product line instead of Vishera?

    I think the current FX 9370 and 9590 are actually a bad idea and if they were determined to create a ~200W TDP product line it should be Steamroller based. Kaveri is supposedly on track for release this year, I think a manufacturer certified high clocked Kaveri would have been the way to...

    Medfield phones look promising

    I'm liking what I see in the Anandtech preview. If the price is reasonable I'll definitely be willing to early adopt an x86 phone. Intel should really push a unified x86 application marketplace, apps that are functional from all your x86 devices.
