    Intel Core 2010: Arrandale and Clarkdale

    Yup I agree, in fact, a followup article points this out: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pcpop.com%2Fdoc%2F0%2F478%2F478245_1.shtml&sl=zh-CN&tl=en Note the driver version (shown in that Intel program): 8.15.10.1995...

    Intel Core 2010: Arrandale and Clarkdale

    Yeah, that's the strange part; the benchmarks showing the H57 config (+ Pentium G6950, i.e. the 533mhz graphics core) is faster than the 4350/210, but that means it's 2x the 785g or more. However, the benchmark with the 'faster' Core i5 (900mhz graphics core, + H55 chipset) ends up to be...

    Intel Core 2010: Arrandale and Clarkdale

    Still somewhat fits though, if you consider the relative performance of the 780g and the 9400 http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/3184/17630.png Though, as pointed a few posts below the post you linked, the numbers just don't seem to fit, but the ones above imply that Intel's somehow managed to...

    AMD admits to 4770 supply problems

    Speaking of which: Yields of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC's) 40nm process will not see any significant improvement until August 2009, according to sources at graphics card makers. Since TSMC's yield rates at 40nm are currently less than 25%, they have seriously...

    ASML tips roadmap for EUV litho production platform

    Ah, sorry, missed it. Well we're primarily (as hardware enthusiasts) concerned with the leading edge (well everything perhaps chipsets), and my question to you would be: Do you forsee a slowdown on the leading edge then? [Let me also throw in a few assumptions: Assume China/India continues...

    Would the world benefit if we combined all countries

    Agreed. The 'storyline' of the EU is that a Union will prevent any future occurence of such a bloody war, and it's built on French-German reconciliation

    ASML tips roadmap for EUV litho production platform

    ShawnD1: I know what an Athlon XP can do; I had a Athlon XP 1700+ as my primary PC till mid-2007, and only retired it mid-2008. It was then that I finally felt its limitations in 2008, when the Diablo III video stuttered. It did Youtube fine (approx 60-65 CPU util), but not HD Youtube though...

    ASML tips roadmap for EUV litho production platform

    Except that plenty of people I know with C2Ds and C2Qs don't do video encoding; granted, it is only a anecdote, but I'm trying to illustrate the point that it doesn't necessarily follow that the availability of increased processing power implies that widespread applications will come, as seen in...

    ASML tips roadmap for EUV litho production platform

    Actually I've given that some thought. For most desktops in offices worldwide, isn't a Pentium 4/AMD Athlon XP system already sufficient? Thing is I really can't see why many people would need PCs more powerful than Core 2s. Video encoding is still comparatively rare, and the only really taxing...

    ATi to demo DX11 chip tomorrow in Computex

    Fair enough, but most new architectures do tend to bring in significant improvements in performance each generation (can't think of many exceptions, maybe HD2000->HD3000? But then that was R600 -> RV670 architecture wise) Though after giving this some more thought this might be quite a good...

    ATi to demo DX11 chip tomorrow in Computex

    To be honest I'm more interested in the performance leaps we've come to expect with every 'new' architecture, not in the DX11, but I doubt we'll see any performance figures tomorrow, but it might hint that they're going to be launched sooner rather than later, which is always a good thing in my...

    Are we going to war in Korea???

    No. China simply doesn't want 800k refugees suddenly popping up on their doorstep if war breaks out. Which is why they would be quite against any war popping out. They could let North Korea collapse quite easily, seeing that they're North Korea's biggest backers (as in drip feeding the country...

    Intel has been dubbed EVIL

    Agreed, and the next problem is that we'll never be able to devise an experiment to see which method/philosophy leads to a better outcome (the players change, etc, etc.) So any model will always be open to the charge that another philosophy/model would've performed better even if it appears...

    Intel has been dubbed EVIL

    Idontcare: They all refer to the same cartel (around the same timeframe). taltamir made a claim about the ineffectiveness of fines on preventing cartels, and he used the DRAM industry as an example saying that multiple cartels have popped up and when fines were applied, it didn't prevent new...

    Intel has been dubbed EVIL

    Got proof/links for them? Because IIRC, the cartel existed around 2001, which was the same time when they were battling rambus (and RDRAM) on the P4 platform, and it was that cartel that got fined. So yeah I can find one cartel, but I can't find 3 separate cartels.

    Intel has been dubbed EVIL

    How many ram cartels exactly have we had in history in the last, 20 years or so? I only remember multiple companies being fined at different dates as they pleaded guilty one by one, but they were all acting as one single ram cartel at the time (approximately 2002 or so) ... If there's only...

    Intel has been dubbed EVIL

    But at the exact same time, government allowed monopolies also tend to have an element of what to you would be pretty heavy handed government regulation to control the prices, so it can't exactly be called a pure rip off from the 'fairness' perspective. Nope, the monopoly also 'wins' if...

    Intel has been dubbed EVIL

    You assume people will buy processors regardless of price in a monopoly situation. I believe processors are a commodity item and even the server market will dry up with outrageous pricing. You also assume companies will gobble each other up in the long term. History has demonstrated that huge...

    Intel has been dubbed EVIL

    Your initial statement: You made a comparison between the US and EU, and thus that's the claim I'm trying to debunk, that somehow, market size wise, the EU is much less important than the US.

    Intel has been dubbed EVIL

    Have you forgotten about Asia? Africa? Latin America? Asia's pretty big too you know...... I may have no figures about the regional marketshare but I'd argue that the EU would be comparable to the US in terms of global chip sales, if not slightly larger.

    Swine flu outbreak

    sportage: How many people suffer from 'basic every day' flu each year, compared to swine flu, 100x, 1000x, 10000x? The problem with swine flu is that we do not know how dangerous it is, and that's the most worrying factor. But, current indicators do point to it being a mild flu, and not with...

    Swine flu outbreak

    It's 7 confirmed deaths from swine flu out of 152 suspected deaths attributed to swine flu. There are currently 26 confirmed cases of swine flu in Mexico, with about 2000 cases (the number we see in the press) which are suspected to be swine flu. So if we took fractions it'll be 7/26...

    So 13,000 Americans have died from the regular flu so far this year, but 0 from swine flu

    GPU shipments increased last quarter

    HD4770 review

    Agreed, but coming from another country, we don't tend to get rebates and prices tend to stick to the recommended retail price (e.g. the 4850 is going for $130-144, the GTS250 512mb goes for $144 - all non-OC editions) So this is a pretty exciting development for me personally anyway :)
