Taco, ever read your own site?

This has to be a new record for redundant articles [slashdot.org]...

Patience

Reviews of hardware come from pretty much the same half-dozen review sites every time. How about this idea?

When a review of a "new release" hits one site, wait 24 hours for all of them to release reviews then link it in one article?

You could even time it, considering many of the sites do "previews" that say something along the lines of "the NDA will expire on XX/YY, until then..." Sort of gives you a clue when the full review is coming out.

Intel no longer loves MS?

[n-baxley]

It seems to me that processor speeds have relly shot up in the last 6 months. Before, there was always a nice tie between the advances in processor speed and the extra needs of Windows. This arrangment worked well for both parties in that everyone felt they had to have both to be right with the world. Has Intel (and AMD) now said to heck with MS we're going to put all the speed we can into our machines? Or, are we seeing a MHz race between Intel and AMD? With a viable competitor, Intel can no longer trickle out improvments at their own pace, they have to deal with someone else matching and exceeding their pace. What does this bode for the future of processors?
