I don't know why you were moded up.
Zen is 40% IPC greater than EXCAVATOR. The FX-8350 is bulldozer core. Since Bulldozer there has been 3 cores: Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator (to be released this year).
Intel has in fact dropped the ball. They have not released a new desktop CPU in 2 years.

TSMC has already produced test wafers on 10nm and plan to enter volume production in 2016

The answer is 3D printers. They solve all known problems. Just 3D print a massive spaceship, then fly said spaceship to Mars and 3D print yourself a city, then 3D print a breathable atmosphere and magnetic field.

Maybe they should ask CSI for some help. Those guys have tech that can magnify any image to infinity.

tweets are still restricted to 140 characters, yet they allow you to embed dos games into the message?

If I had diabeties I don't think I would want a poker playing AI controlling the insulin. What if it decides to go "all in"?

I wonder if they will make the same mistake they did with Windows Phone and not provide any OpenGL ES support

When you load a javascript library the browser has to allocate memory to every function in the library even if they are never used and most web sites are using dozens of javascript libraries. While this is ok on a desktop, on a tablet - which has much less memory - it means you only have enough memory to have one web page open at a time. Some web pages are so infested with javascript libraries they cause the tablet browser to crash. And they are just displaying static text and images, something that doesn't require javascript.

That's not the way it works.
Qualcomm is successful because their modems support *all* telecom protocols, not just LTE. That's know as a "world modem". No other company has that support. So, if they want to sell their phone in a certain market they have to use a Qualcomm modem. If they try to use a Qualcomm modem solution, with a third party SoC the manufacture gets charged a penalty - the same modem is a lot cheaper if you pair it with a Snapdragon SoC. And *that's* how Qualcomm make their money.

Sorry, but you are wrong and so is the article. The main advantage of an integrated modem is power. The modem is basically a processor and if it's on the SoC it can share the memory bus, which reduces power consumption. It also, means less components and cheaper BoM.

Still, I'm disappointed that they could fit "cloud computing" and Node.js into the design. That would be a truely awsome rocket

I wonder, supposing it didn't tip over, how much would it cost to refurbish it for another launch. How many parts would you have to replace?

> next they should do a study about how humans are also still subject to the law of gravity
It's worth pointing out that ninjas aren't subject to the law of gravity

> 4K is the limit of human visual perception
So, what would happen if you looked directly at a 8K monitor? Would your eyes explode?
