    Brian Krzanich resigns as intel ceo

    In a situation like this, we'll probably never know the real story. Nevertheless, I think we can draw a few fair inferences. First, he absolutely violated the company policy. In a serious way. It is inconceivable that this happened without an investigation, run by outside counsel, that...

    What chip generation did you buy your first desktop Core i7 processor?

    I am currently thinking that Ice Lake will be my first i7. My two current systems are an i5-2500K and an i5-3570K. At the time I built them, the i5s really seemed to be the best value. Looking to the future though, the pace of advancement has slowed down and it looks to me like the best value...

    Google October 4th event

    Verizon is already pushing it with a $300 credit for trading in most recent flagship phones. Not sure how many people that will convince; it's noticeably less generous than the Iphone 7 deals a few weeks ago which was $650 trade in credit for 5/6 series Iphones.

    Cheapest service to use iPhone as kid tracker?

    Try Life360. The free version lets you check where the phone is right now, and I think one day of location tracking. If you just want to see current location, free should do it. The premium version is I think $3/month. It lets you setup a bunch of location alerts (e.g. kid left school, kid...

    Intel going after 2018 iPhone foundry deal

    I'm sure Apple doesn't want to be dependent on a single foundry - but what is their volume? It must be large enough that they could split it between Intel, TSMC and Samsung and still have all three vying for the business. Pick two out of three for each order, and have the third pushing very...

    Starcraft Universe

    Contact support. I once lost access to my account because my I factory reset my phone and lost my authenticator. This was a few years ago, but it was pretty easy to get them to reset it. I think I had to email them a scan of photo ID, and that was it.

    Nuke this . . . FUD

    This, this this. Killing Win32 is for all practical purposes killing Windows for the bulk of the installed base. If it ever happens, it will be decades from now when everyone has so thoroughly migrated to UWP that no one even remembers a Win32 app. And even if that ever happens, deep in the...

    Pokemon Go works in the US.

    Microsoft Announces Project Scorpio (Next Xbox)

    If they are going to be fully backward compatible, won't they need at least 32GB of ESRAM? IIRC that was in the ballpark of 100 GB/s of bandwidth for the Xbox One. That could make a big difference to how we should interpret the 320 GB/s number.

    New PS4.5 in the works?

    Forced their hand isn't really the right way to put it. Rather, I assume, AMD offered Sony some options. Sony's the one with the money, so they get to pick. Presumably they offered Microsoft the same options. A die shrink costs some money, and given the thin margins in the console chip...

    And BB Priv sales weak, Chen discusses leaving the handheld market...

    Keyboard don't sell better because for most users it isn't important enough to make a difference. I hate typing long emails on my phone (Galaxy S6). So much that if it's more than a couple sentences I will turn on my PC and VPN in to work to type on a real keyboard. But if I'm not near a PC...

    Apple using Intel modems

    It looks like Intel's efforts to get their modems in Iphones are paying off. Apparently they are being dual sourced, Intel and Qualcomm. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-10/intel-said-to-get-chip-order-from-apple-first-major-mobile-win

    Why did Microsoft fail with smartphones?

    Speaking of Microsoft's phone business: "Microsoft Corp. on Wednesday announced plans to streamline the company’s smartphone hardware business, which will impact up to 1,850 jobs. As a result, the company will record an impairment and restructuring charge of approximately $950 million, of which...

    Civ 6 Announcement and Date

    Civ5 has a touch enabled version, although I think it only appears on the launcher menu if it detected Windows 8 or above. Made tablet play work very nicely, although it did crash occasionally. I don't recall the standard DX11 version ever crashing. Civ is very well suited to touch play...

    PC Client shipments in free fall Q1.

    I don't exactly disagree with this, but the delta is important. Ten years ago, if you wanted your own computing device you needed a PC. Either a desktop or a laptop. Today, if you have access to a PC at work, or a shared one at home, you don't need your own. For personal use, the vast...

    PC Client shipments in free fall Q1.

    I don't think this is true at all. A large and growing number of people see their phones as their primary computing device. They may (or may not...) have a PC on their desk at work, if they need it... but for a large and growing number of people, their smartphones satisfy their computing...

    Regret buying an xbox one.

    I have to think that if we traveled back in time to just before launch, and told the Xbox team how well it had sold by 2016, they would be thrilled... unless we also told them about PS4 sales.

    I'd like to see Google jump into phone manufacturing

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say. All I said was that since the lawsuits and the patents came as a package deal, buying them didn't change the leverage on the Google/Motorola side. Before the acquisition, Motorola had lawsuits and leverage from patents. After the acquisition...

    I'd like to see Google jump into phone manufacturing

    I wasn't referring to who started it, but that it was all between Motorola and Apple. Motorola's patents didn't give Google extra leverage to settle those suits, because Google was only a party to the lawsuits because they acquired Motorola.

    I'd like to see Google jump into phone manufacturing

    All those lawsuits were against Motorola to begin with though. Google took a different view towards settling them, but it was all Apple v. Motorola.

    Dads of Anandtech: Do you still play video games?

    If you're a brand new dad, first of all congratulations! Second, the first few months are crazy. Most brand new parents are tired all the time. After a while though, things calm down. Your child starts sleeping through the night (sooner or later, depending on how lucky you are) and you get...

    Is console going digital?

    I think it's a transition problem. Moving to all-digital purchases has been a huge boon to PC gaming. It is better financially both for gamers and publishers. There's no reason all digital consoles wouldn't be similarly better for everyone. The big complaint about it right now is pricing...

    Is console going digital?

    Sure, it's a hassle. So is taking something back to the store to refund or exchange it. Still, it wasn't that long ago that you couldn't get a refund from Steam at all, so it's getting better.

    Is console going digital?

    I don't think that's right. The average person with a console also has a smart phone, and is completely comfortable with the App Store or Google Play model of buying. That's pretty analogous to the online stores for the Xbox and Playstation. Since the new generation consoles launched digital...

    [YOUR GAMING PC RESOLUTION] PC-Gamers-Only Pool

    Only two 4k-5k triple screen gamers. Fourteen 4k single screen gamers as I'm writing this. Even so, there's a real disconnect between how much 4k is talked about and how much it's used. There are 15 sub-1080p gamers, as many as 4k.

    Games you are excited for?

    I am excited for Legacy of the Void. Otherwise, there are so many good games out there that are old... I get excited when I start to feel the itch for a new game, and with a few minutes find something that is widely agreed to be great. Usually it came out years ago by the time I find it. With...

    Yeah, no matter what I try it aborts the boot after a second or two. Sounds like destroying the flash is the way to go.

    Erase data from a broken S4

    My Galaxy S4 power button broke, and is permanently pressed. This wasn't so bad until I turned it off, opened it up, and tried to fix it. It seems like the sensor is broken - it's not a mechanical problem that I can fix. Now I can't turn it back on. It starts to boot, but holding the button...

    Is Android in trouble?

    I don't think we need to ask, we can just look at the original Iphone. In 2007 it launched without any third party apps except Google maps. It didn't even have an app store for a couple years. At the time Apple and Google were viewed very much as partners. Apple had essentially no web...

    Is Android in trouble?

    I agree, mostly. It just seems to me that the way Google built the Android ecosystem, there is a lot less profit in the whole ecosystem compared to other platforms. That may not matter, long run... but it does seem like a weakness.

    Is Android in trouble?

    That's what Google has always said, but I am starting to wonder. Does Google actually make more profits from ads served to an Android device instead of an Apple device? Perhaps with a similar usage pattern, but Apple users tends to spend significantly more money on purchases from their mobile...

    Is Android in trouble?

    Android is the most successful mobile operating system ever, by every measure except profits. It is not dying by any means, however that profits issue undoubtedly gives Google pause. It seems like no one except Samsung can consistently make money with Android, and Samsung profits are falling...

    Class Action Lawsuit against AMD

    This case will settle, they always do. It's just not worth it (for the plaintiffs or AMD) to go to trial. In the settlement they'll pay attorneys fees, a small amount of money to the lead plaintiff, and promise never to do it again. This kind of case is pretty common. A company announces...

    Losing faith in Windows Phone (in America)

    I've never actually bought a Windows Phone device, but I sympathize. When it first came out I thought it looked like a solid option, but a little rough around the edges. For 5 years now I've been thinking that the next version of Windows Phone would be the one to buy, and it seems like every...

    SED - Samsung M&A AMD research news

    Oh, interesting. That does throw a major wrinkle in to things. I believe this is the final order: https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/documents/cases/2010/08/100804inteldo_0.pdf It doesn't seem to say that they have to reach a license agreement, just that they have to use good faith...

    SED - Samsung M&A AMD research news

    Unless Intel's lawyers screwed up, I doubt that would matter. A standard change of control provision would cover any form of merger, regardless of who "buys" who, or which entity survives. When you see the tiny company "buy" the big company, it's usually for a tax reason (sometimes it saves...

    The future of console gaming..

    I don't see why not. Naughty Dog wants (and all the other devs) will release games when they can. I'm sure they'd like to do it faster, and have fewer devices to design for. Going forward though, if future consoles are x86 with broadly similar architecture, which seems likely, it will be a...
