[Ashraf] 10nm "Lakefield" SoC with Intel big + little cores

Want to hit on both points adequately. Surface Neo has been delayed because Windows 10x isn’t ready yet. I’m kinda thinking because they don’t have adoption at a useful level for the way they want applications to be packaged. On the issues with Android, that has multiple problems. The original...

[Ashraf] 10nm "Lakefield" SoC with Intel big + little cores

I hope you are right, and I REALLY hope the Surface Neo gets a variant that includes it. I had a lot of hope for Atom when it was released. Especially for Android Phones and Tablets. Why? Competition works! Netbooks existed because they weren’t great, but for many people it was a “workable” way...

[Ashraf] 10nm "Lakefield" SoC with Intel big + little cores

I think stopping development of the Atom when they did was the bad decision. Having a 30% increase year over year I’d say is pretty good. But considering they stopped development a while ago, things could be in much better shape, and comparable to what we are seeing from the ARM side. 30% for...

[Ashraf] 10nm "Lakefield" SoC with Intel big + little cores

If I derailed the thread, the humbles of apologies, that was far from my intent. In regards to the CPU, I was speaking to the individual core versus total package. In regards to Tremont, I have looked, though not exhaustively, and haven't seen anything really that indicates conclusively what...

[Ashraf] 10nm "Lakefield" SoC with Intel big + little cores

You can say what you want, I have no desire to talk “outrageous smack”. Intel failed in the market place with Atom. That isn’t hyperbole. My Apple Watch Series 5 is running 2 64 bit arm processors, and it’s the same core design that sits on iPhones and iPads from the same generation. Again...

[Ashraf] 10nm "Lakefield" SoC with Intel big + little cores

“Ooooo...Kay...” prove me wrong. Atom processors haven’t done well at anything so I’m more than happy to hear what you have to say. Please, show me a scenario where Atom smokes anything. Until then, I check your hyperbole, and I raise you. I’d bet you’ve got nothing but a hand full of 2, 5...

[Ashraf] 10nm "Lakefield" SoC with Intel big + little cores

You’re right. Many are reliant on those systems. I am reluctantly saying that that is a Microsoft problem. I can give a lot of props to Microsoft for badly “softly” trying to move things forward. I’ve been in a very sad room where a Microsoft employee told people that thought there was a...

[Ashraf] 10nm "Lakefield" SoC with Intel big + little cores

Tremont is out of order. It’s also coming from the family that performs the worst at all things for a very long time. Intel actually publicly abandoned the Atom line years ago. It isn’t an exaggeration at all to say that i have a dual core 64 bit processor on my watch that out performs any dual...

Solved! ARM Apple High-End CPU - Intel replacement

I was having this exact same conversation on another forum. My thinking is very similar to yours A14: iPhone. IPad, and iPad Air (not iPad not immediately but it will trickle there) A14X: iPad Pro, MacBook, MacBook Air, Mac Mini, iMac (entry level) A14P(performance): iMac, Mac Mini, MacBook...

[Ashraf] 10nm "Lakefield" SoC with Intel big + little cores

It’s not going to be a primary device of mine. I mostly use Macs for work, but I occasionally need to do a few things using Microsoft Office that ONLY has the feature on Windows. I’m looking at it as a fun experiment. I see the move to ARM for every platform incredibly interesting because for a...

Thank! That is perfect! Out of curiosity, how do you like the Surface X for day to day use? I am tempted to pick one up this week. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

[Ashraf] 10nm "Lakefield" SoC with Intel big + little cores

I agree, some of the concepts are interesting. But trying to bolt four trouts to a shark doesn’t mean a better killing machine. For a thermal perspective, stacking CPUs like this, seems like it would lead to the potential of the thermals of the Atom core could indirectly impact the ability of...

Solved! ARM Apple High-End CPU - Intel replacement

I think it depends on the form factor. Design considerations for the MacBook Air are VERY different than the MacBook Pro. It’s still amazing to me that the iMac Pro essentially has a 1U server running quiet hanging off the back of a display. I expect there will be some form of deviation from...

Solved! ARM Apple High-End CPU - Intel replacement

Yes, unfortunately. My former Uncle, an Engineer at Nokia and Alcatel was insistent that performance = GHz. The arguments I had with him growing up was cute. It got tedious when I had much deeper understanding of chip architecture, and his line was very clear “performance is based on clock...

[Ashraf] 10nm "Lakefield" SoC with Intel big + little cores

Lakefield just seems like such a bad idea. The Atom cores were dogs to begin with. I’d wager that any modern ARM high efficiency core is probably better than a recently rehashed ARM chip. It seems pretty obvious to me that ARM High Performance cores would obliterate anything Atom. Sent from...

Lollipop 5.0 just got pushed to a whole bunch of Samsung devices

As much as I like what I've seen and know about Android, the realities of every OEM running their own forks that can be blocked by Carriers is what keeps me away. I would probably buy a Samsung Galaxy S6 and the new Galaxy S Tab when it came out if there was a direct line of software updates...

Can't speak for Samsung Pay but Apple Pay is notably faster and easier then a credit card. At most places I put my phone up to the reader, and my phone will ask me to authenticate with TouchID. Thats it. On Apple Pay the number being sent to the vendor isn't the actual card number. Each card on...

XBOX One and External Drives

The risk of failure should be minimal. External hard drives are as likely to go out as the one in the Xbox One. With the Xbox One the hard drives in general are more of a cache then anything else. They store content put on their by the disk or downloaded, or game saves which get synced to...
