Submission + - Microsoft to Sell It's Own Windows RT Tablet

Glasswire writes: "ComputerWorld reports that Microsoft will announce a Microsoft-branded tablet on Monday running the Win RT (ARM-based ) subset version of Win 8. MSFT choose not to offer a x86 Win 8 version, which could have given them a performance advantage over ARM-based Apple iPads. A PCMag opinion piece titled "A Microsoft Tablet Would Be Dumb" said "The only real reason to introduce a Microsoft-branded tablet is because Microsoft couldn't get anyone else to make a Windows RT tablet." No reaction yet from Microsoft's system OEM customers that it will now be competing with."

Submission + - ZDNet Says AMD Posts Blatantly Deceptive Benchmark

Glasswire writes: "George Ou, in ZDNet's Real World IT blog accuses AMD of comparing processors the company will not be shipping for months (2.6GHz Barcelona quad core) with older Intel Xeon quad cores rather than currently shipping ones which would beat the (hypothetical) score AMD claims for the future Barcelona. I guess while even the much slower 2.0GHz Barcelona is due soon (but STILL not shipping yet) AMD didn't think results from the 2.0 would look good enough -even against the slower Xeons they picked.
Maybe the right comparison should be either best cpu against best cpu -OR compare ones at the same price — and only shipping products."
