The future of computer input devices

If we restrict the discussion to computers, as in working with a general computer, desktop, laptop, workstation, whatever. 1: Voice command? No, simply because menues, tool buttons, etc are so much more convenient, faster, deliberate and error free. Not only are they fast and silent methods to...

Can single core get much faster or we hitting a dead end?

Actually, every single angle, - in this context, and fused in that way, - of that injection, strikes me as completely wrong. But I'm tired,.. Look, Moore's law puts more transistors into your computer. How do you make best use of them? A bigger single core? Nope. That would do far less...

A First Look at the Larrabee New Instructions (LRBni)

Do you mean that there are technical features of interest that the article has omitted? Like it's incomplete? Or do you mean that the article doesn't delve into the interesting consequences?

Can single core get much faster or we hitting a dead end?

Of course single threaded, single core performance can be increased. I don't think the point has been made directly here yet, at least not put directly: I think the question is how you get best value for your transistor budget. And in those terms we have come to a point where diminishing...

What happens when we switch to light CPUs

I think you misunderstood the estimate I was trying to make. My point was that lightspeed is too slow. The physical constrictions on a GP optical processor makes it ultimately unable to compete with transistor IC. The upscale in achievable switching speed is not able to compensate for less...

Intel's X86 license with AMD questioned

That is the idea. Intel have been squeezing for a good while already. You can see it in the numbers of CPUs they've sold and their low revenues which absolutely haven't matched up. Not with normal business practices either. Intel's legal position vs AMD is precarious and I think this is how...

What happens when we switch to light CPUs

I think light based logic will be superior/competitive in limited areas. In terms of a traditional general purpose CPU I also believe current transistor technology is already beyond what is achievable with light. Theoretically, light allows phenomenally fast logical state change. But for...

Intel's X86 license with AMD questioned

When it's eventually proceeded through court, contract law tends to be pretty straightforward. And as I see it, right now Intel is indeed, really, in major breech of the agreement and AMD is not. Whether AMD will, in some future, be in breach of the agreement or not is then irrelevant. I have...

Should I move up to quad core? What should I get?

I didn't. I said they are not quite as good on multiple tasks as they are on single tasks multithreaded for performance.

Should I move up to quad core? What should I get?

"Trying do denigrate another's hobby and lifestyle by way of painting generic stereotypes with a broad brush " Where did I "denigrate another's hobby and lifestyle "? I merely pointed out that my answer was possibly not going to be 100% relevant due to my inability to relate to the OP.

Anybody else DISAPPOINTED by i7?

Core i7 sofar looks like an extraordinarily good processor. If you're disappointed, my take is that your perception of different performance envelopes is unrealistic. That is to say: you are comparing 'desktop' -benchmarking results for Core 2 and Core i7. I often have the impression that...

Is there any calculation that current processors cannot calculate ?

Accurately predicting the weather is not even theoretically possible. It would not fail due to unsufficient computing power, it fails because it's actually not possible. The reason is that arbitrarily small input conditions will eventually have very significant consequences. (Please note that...

Should I move up to quad core? What should I get?

Threads like this is culture shock to me, I have zero interest in oc and generally I'm clueless why young males spend so much money pursuing insignifikant performance advantages through small upgrades. So I guess I shouldn't answer in this thread at all. And normally I never do. Still, I'm...

Why are wind turbine blades so skinny?

QFT QFT Regarding the OP's question: It's all about aerodynamics. And nothing about torques, bearings or structures. Lowest span wise flow! Forget all that radial vs axial torque nonsense. The mission is to suck the energy out of the wind. As much as possible. For that reason you...
