An interesting article here discribes the horrendiously difficult challenges that face EUV:

You mean they *had* plans to it in breeder reactors.
Japan's fast breeder plan has been more or less mothballed after the failure of Monju and Fukushima out cry:

I don't think there are any rare earth materials used in polysilicon cells. In fact, the solar city cells are cheaper to manufacture because they are using copper instead of (standard) silver electrodes

So, only the benchmarks that you say are important count. That's pretty much the dictionary definition of cherry picking

If you do a broader range of benchmarks you'll see the 290x beats the Titan on most compute benchmarks:

Yes, unfortunately there is no independant analysis, it's just Intel's word against ARM's.
But in the case of binary translation, nearly everyone (except Intel) agrees that it has a performance impact:

ARM ran a survey of the top 500 Android apps in the market and found that only 20% are pure Java, 30% are native x86, 42% require binary translation and 6% do not work at all on Intel's platform. To make matters worse the level of compatibility is falling. They also found that running an app in binary translation mode takes a huge performance hit."

The rumour is confirmed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...
Looks awsome! The new Apple Bandai Pippin console features a 66 MHz processor and a 14.4 kb/s modem...

the explaination is quite easy: this poll was from 2001, but was caught in a time wormhole and catapulted 13 years into the future

So, this could be the last AAA OpenGL game for Windows, given that id Software is in it's death spiral (http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Employee-Review-id-Software-RVW4012058.htm)

Actually, you are right. Having more than 8GB in fact makes your dick bigger

I think profits will be from consoles, GPUs and low end APUs for the time being

I believe the guy who kicked this whole thing off was elected by a rigged vote.

So, you mean it's easier for a newbie to make a demo. But when doing anything serious, like writing a game engine, that wrapper stuff only accounts for about 0.000000001% of the development effort.
