Does Apple even sell 20m Macs annually?
If Apple were to use AMD it would likely test the water first with a single product - which would likely be just a way to get Intel to reduce their prices.
I think Nintendo have backed themselves into a corner and all they can do now is Wii2 - i.e Innovate, be different. The main issue with this is that it is very hard to do. It isn't easy to develop something every 5 years that can catch people's imagination.
Only if Nintendo orders them from Amazon!
Nvidia are probably get 130-150 GPU per wafer.
On 14/16nm that will double. (Once yields improve)
14nm wafers are costing between $9-12k.
So at most the cost to create a GPU(just the chip) is $46. Add in a margin for error and some profit and the...
It would need to be a custom chip and Nvidia and Nintendo already have one failed project together. I think they will stick with AMD.
And market it to whom? Porting old games onto a new machine is not a good way to attract customers. The devs wouldn't come back as nobody would buy the games...
I don't see Nintendo going x86 - it doesn't make much sense to me.
Third parties on Nintendo consoles are finished. They have struggled to attracted them over the past 20 years except for niche titles.
By going x86 they would be tying themselves to a company that is struggling to stay afloat...
How would using AMD tech help? AMD sold their mobile GPU to Qualcomm and their desktop GPU's don't scale down well enough to be competitive as a mobile GPU.
Samsung have used PowerVR as well as Mali. PowerVR is the the class of the field but Mali might have cheaper licensing costs, or a...
I assume the reasoning was that it is far easier to reach the app switching button than the tab switching button on the top of the browser - especially as phones are getting bigger with every release!
There is a reason that Intel, who have far more resources than AMD, don't make large architecture changes when they are changing nodes - it is because it reduces the chances of something going wrong.
AMD have a history of doing both ways-
AMD moved to 55nm with the 3870, which was a very...
Intel NEEDS to compete with ARM's low power products as they are eating into Intel's historical user-base. OTOH ARM, and it's partners don't need to compete with Intel 'Core' family as it's not a treat to their business model.
A7 is only 1/2 as fast as A15, for 1/3 of the power so what...
Better camera has little to do with ARM and it's also fairly amazing what smartphone camera's can do already given the limited space/cost that they are afforded.
As for better battery life, ARM has a bigger role to play there but the main improvements need to come from the screens and radio's...
That has much more to do with US prison system. The US has about 7 times as many people in prison than the average European country(relative to population)- mainly due to the revolving door system in Europe.
Maybe instead of wasting money on assault rifles you should start pooling your money...
And then the nut jobs will just find a different target, or target the school at a different time- you know when everyone is walking out as if in one massive firing line. What then? Get students to go 1 by 1 with armed guards at either side and snipers on the roof?
Easy access to high powered...
AMD aren't a true competitor to Intel and haven't been for a number of years. ARM, and it's partners, are what is pushing Intel to stay competitive.
AMD will be bought out, that is fairly clear and has been for a while now. There are a number of tech companies that could buy them with less...
