News [intel] Jim Keller resigns from Intel

And you were right, I completely agree and fully admit I was very much wrong and misguided by that line of thinking back then.

Apple A9X the new mobile SoC king

I really don't know what you are going on about. If you can't follow the conversation, then why make it into a thinly veiled personal attack? I've explained numerous times the differences between expectations and realities in the fabs and the market right now, if you (or other characters)...

Was brazos a bad product?

The ramifications (then and now) of what it took to envision, greenlight, resource, and bring to market a "small x86 core" product at the time in which AMD initially started internal development of Brazos simply cannot be understated. There are stories told, stories yet to be told, and stories...

Jim Keller leaves AMD

Sweet. And in anticipation of a possible response from the bi-curious ISA crowd, would it be possible to cajole you into including an A9 microarchitecture comparison within said table/matrix comparison? ;) :P (personal note, I self-identify with the bi-curious ISA contingent, call me twistlyn ;))

We can safely rely on the CLT when speaking to the average values of the distribution (within a dispersion limit) - Central Limit Theorem The statistical concerns to which you are specifically addressing are captured by "Parent Distribution Sampling"...

Globalfoundries developing 10nm in-house (DigiTimes)

I didn't bother posting this 2 weeks ago because I assumed it was common knowledge even at the time, but this has already been stated (publicly) by Sanjay Jha, Globalfoundries CEO, as reported by EETimes on Sept 16 from Junko Yoshida. (note there is a bunch of nice stuff in the same EETimes...

Interesting! Can you make a table to do a microarchitecture comparison of Zen to Skylake?

iPhone 6s Benchmark Thread

If by "next processor" you mean the A10, then no, it will not be 10nm. A10 is 100% 16FF+.

LOL! That gave me a good laugh :P +1, its another place where they can sell silicon that takes advantage of their process tech in terms of performance/W too. There are limitations, but before they get to the technical limitations they will run into the artificial limitations. Artificial...

I said the same of Nokia...and yet :\ Never underestimate the desperation that middle-to-upper management can have to pursue a M&A to create the perception that they, individually, are contributing to the company and thusly deserve to continue being richly rewarded with RSUs and 5-figure...

Apple A9X the new mobile SoC king

Not that Apple is doing it the same as TI, but before Apple there was TI and it had 80% mobile phone market share. They fabbed the same chip at no less than four companies - 3 foundries plus their own fabs. The way this was made possible, without making it painfully clear to the consumer that...

6700K In Stock @ Amazon.com

Oh there is no doubt, it is a supply-limited issue. Intel doesn't talk about it publicly, but they freely talk about their 14nm yield issues with all their suppliers as they need those suppliers to tweak their products in order to enable higher yields. Not that anyone need take my word for it...

[WCCF] AMD Contracts TSMC To Produce Zen At 16nm Amidst Concerns Over 14nm

Back when TI had 80% marketshare in mobile phones, we fabbed the same chip at three different foundries plus internally manufactured in our own fabs. We did this for multiple nodes over many years without any problem. You can do it provided you drive the requirement of "electrical...
