Seriously though, what is a tablet going to be used for in 5 years that it can't be used for now?
HD gaming? No
CAD? No
HD image manipulation. No
Rendering? No
And what good would a tablet be for things like CAD and image editing? It would be pretty clumsy to make precise movements unless your fingertips are smaller than the ends on a toothpick. Screen realistate would also be an issue. While the tablets of tomorrow may be powerful enough for such tasks, that doesn't mean they should be used.The answer are "yes" to everything, of course. Could PC's do all of these years ago? Yes. They just do it better today. Tablets 5 years from now will probably be powerful enough, they'll just still be weaker than what could be achieved in a larger box.

Just hook a keyboard and a mouse to the thing and away you go. For most cad situations you don't need a beefy system. For 3d work you would, but 90% of people do 2d work.
Actually an ipad3 would be an incredible tool for things like heavy construction. It would allow people to pan and zoom cad drawings so they could get a good look at complicated construction details. They could even mark up the drawings in real time and instantly show the architect or engineer what they need help with.
Just like Netbooks.I read the papers and I read forums like these and I have lost count of how many people say "oh yeah I used my ipad for a few weeks now it just sits on the coffee table looking pretty" sooner or later all the sheep out there are going to realise that tablets are a gimmick.
<Insert joke about AMD CPU performance here>wow, this thread went from AM3+ to ipads
I know, i know! Well at least i got a few good answers before everything fell apart. I guess if I want to know more about my situation/question i will start a thread about ipad3 and let that steamroll into amd's future plans and upgrading potential.wow, this thread went from AM3+ to ipads
The E0 stepping of the X4 640 is actually based on a Thuban die. I haven't heard of them being unlocked before, but I don't see why it's not possible.
Dont you just love how stuff like that happens without us knowing about it? Is there an article on any tech site that covers this??
Yeah, nice of them to keep us in the loop. The only reason I was aware was stumbling across it on a wikipedia page, I haven't heard it mentioned anywhere at all.Dont you just love how stuff like that happens without us knowing about it? Is there an article on any tech site that covers this??

but they keep their sockets for a long time, compared to Intel who changes it up every two years.
atleast ivy bridge will be compatible with 1155
